Aves Numida meleagris domesticus, commonly known in the Comunidad Valenciana as the guinea fowl or pinta, is a domesticated bird species that originates from the wild helmeted guinea fowl native to Africa. These birds are known for their distinctive appearance and unique vocalizations.

Here are some key features and characteristics of the Numida meleagris domesticus:

• Appearance: Guinea fowls have a distinctive appearance characterized by their plump bodies, small naked heads, and wattles. Their plumage is predominantly grey or black, dotted with white spots, giving them the "helmeted" look.
• Behavior: Social birds by nature, guinea fowls typically move in groups. They are known for their loud, harsh calls, which can act as a natural alarm system on farms.
• Diet: They are omnivorous, feeding on a wide range of insects, seeds, and small reptiles, making them beneficial for controlling pests in agricultural areas.
• Role in Agriculture: Due to their foraging habits, they play a significant role in pest control, which can be particularly helpful in the agricultural landscapes of the Comunidad Valenciana.

In the Comunidad Valenciana, guinea fowls are appreciated not only for their practical benefits on farms but also for their ornamental value, adding a touch of exotic charm to gardens and agricultural settings alike.
