A guinea-fowl is a type of domesticated bird that belongs to the pheasant family (Phasianidae). It is a large bird, typically 40-50 cm (16-20 in) in length, with a distinctive call that sounds like a loud, screeching "bock-bock-bock". Guinea-fowl are native to Africa but have been introduced to other parts of the world and are often kept as a domestic animal for their eggs and meat. They have a protective, semi-domesticated status and are recognized by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).
