Superb Starling, Yellow-billed Hornbill, Golden Weavers, and Helmeted Guineafowl

Superb Starling, Yellow-billed Hornbill, Golden Weavers, and Helmeted Guineafowl

The first bird is a Superb Starling (Lamprotornis superbus) from East Africa. According to Wikipedia: "The superb starling feeds primarily on the ground, often below, or in the vicinity of acacia trees. These birds mainly feeds on insects (grasshoppers, beetles, termites, ants and flies) and worms, but also on grains, fruits and small berries."
The next bird is an Eastern Yellow-billed Hornbill (Tockus flavirostris) from Eastern Africa. They eat insects, centipedes, scorpions, small mammals, and berries.
The small yellow birds are supposed to be Taveta Golden Weavers (Ploceus castaneiceps) from Kenya and Tanzania, although pictures of those are all yellow for males and yellow and green for females. They eat seeds and make elaborate, weaved nests.
And the last bird, and the one making the alarm call is the Helmeted Guineafowl (Numida meleagris) from the southern two thirds of Africa. According to Wikipedia "Their diet consists of a variety of animal and plant food; seeds, fruits, greens, snails, spiders, worms and insects, frogs, lizards, small snakes and small mammals." And they have been domesticated and are kept in flocks on farms, partly as living alarms because they give an alarm call whenever they see something unusual going on. This one was objecting to me recording it and the other birds.
