The vulturine guineafowl is the largest bird of the guineafowl family of birds.

The vulturine guineafowl population lives in flocks or groups but perches individually on trees. They may fight within their groups for food or for the best trees to perch on. Their diet includes seeds, tubers, roots, grubs, small reptiles, rodents, and insects. The entire world's adult vulturine guineafowl population is estimated to be about 10,000.
