Pintade de Numidie

A curious bird with a lively character

The helmeted guineafowl adds movement and sound to Bellewaerde’s Savanne. With its rounded body, small head and distinctive blue details, it is a bird that visitors can identify easily once they take a moment to look closely.

It is a pleasant animal to discover between larger species such as giraffes and zebras. Families can use the stop as a small observation game: notice the shape, the group behaviour, the quick movements and the way this bird brings life to the open landscape of the Savanne.

Why visitors will like it

• A distinctive bird that adds detail and energy to the animal area.
