At least share the reason of your experiment.

@ Izhar, I agree that Hibiscus is a common headache between us :-)

Have a bird shed for 1000 plus. In case if i go for guinea fowls, then this is their best diet. As enclosed by fence, so need best forage. Kindly see on Google about guinea fowls and you would know why i asked.:-)

Yawer, I had guinea fowls for several years but at that time internet was not available. I wasn't aware of their special preference for eliminating bad insects. I used to feed them red rice and they would love it.
