Galinha d'Angola! (10)

I call it Galinha de Angola as you can find on google images if you type in "Galinha de Angola", but there might be other names for her, perhaps Madonna or many other!
The species is protected in South Africa, but I have heard people saying that they run over them with their cars to kill them and take them home for a nice meal.
In Angola they are not protected you can hunt them to eat and aparently they taste nice, but I never did, poor bird...

...::: UPDATED ON THE 11 OF SEPTEMBER 2006 :::...
This bird is also called Guinea Fowl, Helmeted Guinea Fowl, Vulturine Guinea Fowl in South Africa.
