    Sacramento no longer has Crested Guineafowl, nor did they when the list was posted.

    Stone Partridge at San Diego Zoo is an addition.

    How are helmeted guineafowl so rare? Are they really all just domesticated ones?

    Nearly all Helmeted Guineafowl in NA zoos are the domesticated variety.

    Brights has crested guineafowl, and continues to keep vulturine guineafowl as mentioned in a previous post.

    Riverbanks recently added Gambel’s quail, and either recently added or soon plans to add vulturine guineafowl (I assume the former because it was signed months ago at this point)
