Vulturine Guinea Fowl

Jurong Birdpark, Singapore

Scientific name: Acryllium vulturinum (Hardwicke, 1834).

Distribution: African tropical region, with a wide variety of habitats, from dense rain forest to semi-desert.

The adult has a bare blue face and dark neck, and although all other guineafowl have unfeathered heads, this species looks particularly like a vulture because of
the long head and neck.
