Meet Glenn and the Kevins!
The homestead has it's own security system in our small flock of guineas. Although small, these dinosaur replicas are LOUD. When not alerting all residents of the homestead (and those down the hollow) to intruders both real and imaginary, Glenn and the Kevins wander about and get in everyone's way. Not only are they excellent watchdogs, they also excel in creating mindless panic amongst themselves. A car drives in, either known or a stranger=mindless panic. Someone walks in their direction no matter the distance between =mindless panic. We're sure they achieve their 10,000 steps each and every day with their unproductive activities.
While not my favorite birds, my parents do enjoy watching these comical dinos in the yard. Although Ollie doesn't appreciate them at all. 😂
When you visit the homestead, say hi to Glenn, the Kevins would really rather you leave them alone... If you're wondering how to tell them apart, Glenn is the piebald, the pearl, or gray, ones are the Kevins. Two of the Kevins are hens, however the only way to tell them apart is by their distinctive "buckwheat" call.
