Guineas Fly Through Downtown Athens Stirs Residents
Pedestrians in downtown Athens watched four gray and white guinea hens roam the area Monday and Tuesday. Ohio wildlife agent Ted Dean identified the birds as domesticated guinea hens after initial confusion with turkeys. Bystanders on the OU campus and near city hall observed the flock moving between E Washington Street and the Southerton Beauty Academy as patrols tracked the birds’ movements. Dean suggested the birds likely escaped from a crate dropped from a passing truck.
