The Plumed Guineafowl is a secretive and poorly known species characterized by its unique head ornamentation. It is a resident of African rainforests.
Where to spot
This species is found in the dense lowland rainforests of Central and West Africa, preferring areas with thick undergrowth.
How to spot
Due to its shy nature and dense habitat, the Plumed Guineafowl is difficult to spot. Listen for its distinctive, low hooting calls and look for subtle movements on the forest floor, often near clearings or paths.
When to spot
Observation is challenging but is most likely during the early morning or late afternoon when individuals or small groups emerge to forage. They are present year-round.
