When navigating the "Wall of Birds" I came across a bird called the Vulturine Guineafowl. This species of fowl had the most interesting bright crimson eyes and dark plumage, with streaks of white and purple patch's providing stark contrast. I first read about this bird while enjoying a compilation of paintings and anecdotes from a painter based out of Africa. The way that the bio for this bird was written, gave me a vivid picture of the habitat it calls home. Such a cool looking bird unique to the country it stems from, it's so easy to forget about the unique scope of animals that live beyond where one immediately calls home! The Secretary bird was another that I took note of, this bird has such a regal appearance to it. After further reading and some YouTube searches, seeing this bird stalk through tall African grasslands made me feel for the critters it was hunting under foot! A unique way to dispatch prey, the essentially deliver a karate providing a quick and sudden dispatch of their prey items.
