Driving down Bridge Road in Elba this afternoon, I see some strange looking birds near the edge of the roadway. I naturally stop to take pictures.
While stopped, I meet George Morgan, the owner of the birds. He tells me they're guinea hens, native to Africa. He also shows me his peacock (bottom photo).
Morgan said he's owned guinea hens for 30 years.
"They're just a riot," he said. "They're lots of fun. They chase each other. They play tag. I always enjoy a good laugh."
