Kenya Crested Guinea
This is a shy forest species, found open woodlands and thickets around the forests edge. Like other guinea species, they travel in flocks of as many as 20 foraging for insects and other food. In the winter, they form breeding pairs and nest, before rejoining the flock in warmer months. When alarmed, they are swift runners.

Tying with Kenya Crested Guinea Feathers
The pale blue spotted body feathers have been used by salmon tiers for throats as an alternative in large flies where a jay feather would normally be used. Coverts and large body feathers can be used for whole feather wing flies, cheeks or sides.

Body Feathers
These are beautiful feathers, the spots are are a faint blue against a dark blue, almost black background. There is quite a range of sizes and the color is the same on the smallest as the largest feather.

Full Skin
This bird is in exceptional condition. There are no pin feathers, it has great color, no faded or worn feathers, and no wear on the edges of the wing quills. The only flaw is a few missing tail feathers. Click on the image on the left to see a close-up.

I'm looking for pictures of flies and the recipies you used to tie them. Please give me a call or email me for more information.
Thanks!
All 6 species of guineafowl are native to Africa. With the exception of the helmeted and vulturine, they are predominatly forest birds. Only the hemeted has been domesticated and today is commonly seen around farm buildings. They can't be missed, just the slightest concern will set them off chattering hysterically. Breeds: |
