Guineas aren't the brightest set of critters God created. At least the guineas around here don't always act like they've got good sense. In fact, most of the time, they do some pretty stupid stuff.
Let's just say their receiver is off the hook.
You know, if brains were taxed, they'd likely get a refund.
Or you might say that they've got a hole in their bag of marbles.
Maybe even mention that someone needs to check the air pressure in their heads.
Or perhaps talk about how if brains were dynamite, they wouldn't have enough to blow their nose (beak?).
You get my drift, I'm sure.
The thing I notice most often is how they run up and down a fence looking for a way through. Now guineas are great fliers. The often fly up in the tops of our big, very tall, walnut trees to roost at night. So it's not like they couldn't take a short flight over the top of a 4-foot fence with ease.
Instead they run up and down the fence line, up and down, all in a panic trying to find a way to get to the other side.
Duh!
But at least I'll have to give them this... they know enough to come in out of the rain.
Well, sort of anyway. That birdbath doesn't exactly shelter them very well, but at least they've got the idea.
Guineas, it's time to come in out of the rain!

Guineas evidently aren’t the brightest crayons in the box.
Well said Ceecee.
