You know, I have guineas and while they can be very entertaining, they're also very loud, ugly and stupid beyond belief. Seriously, they can start with 10 keets after their hatch and end up with one (or less) by the time the keets are supposed to be ready to fend for themselves. They're like the "pro choice" crowd of the barnyard...too damn stupid and irresponsible to keep track of their kids.
People say they're great watchdogs but they fly off the handle every time a leaf ruffles across the yard in a different direction than the rest. When one goes off, they all go off and scream incessantly over anything that shatters their world view. I don't even look out the window anymore when my guineas are running around like paranoid schizophrenics in a poultry processing plant who just realized they're being chased by some redneck with a shotgun. Even if it's the same person coming down the driveway on the same day every week to pick up eggs.
Like when DUmmies have to face the fact that other people think differently than them. Or when a minority, woman, conservative or bunny rabbit has the nerve to step out of the neat little stereotypical box they've been assigned. It's just too scary and imposing to process so they just start screaming and lashing out. But, like my guineas it's an impotent rage. Doesn't get them anywhere or change anything. DUmmies are the guineas of the human race.
