🐔Helmeted Guineafowl

É a mais conhecida da família das aves Numididae, e o único membro do gênero Numida. Trata-se de uma ave que, em geral, só realiza cruzamento com exemplares da própria raça. Por isso, os pintainhos resultantes do acasalamento entre galinhas-d’angola e galos de qualquer outra espécie não têm raça reconhecida, sendo identificados apenas como aves híbridas,
