    Thank you for watching my videos! This channel is dedicated to animal education and improving the lives of captive animals.
    Here’s little about me!
    My name is Meghan Arriola and I live in Texas with my husband Jaime, where I dedicate my time to taking care of exotic and domesticated animals on my farm. We run a rescue and sanctuary for animals like alpacas, birds and reptiles. I do animal education presentations for groups and schools. Our alpacas also do events where we are able to teach people about these unique animals. I have used service dogs for medical needs for over 10 years and I am an advocate for assistance animals and mental health awareness.
    I am an animal educator that brings science related ideas to an audience from around the world by presenting fun and interesting topics in a family friendly way. Animals touch our lives in unique ways everyday as simply being our pets and companions, but how can we make their lives equally as special now that they live in captivity? My UA-cam channel and blog explore ways to meet this goal by tackling things like animal behavior, human-animal relationships and veterinary medicine. Animal science is a great way to teach people of all ages that education is fun and nerdy is cool.
    My previous animal related work experience includes working in veterinary clinics, private zoos, training horses and volunteer work in wildlife rehabilitation, rescue/foster/adoption programs and therapeutic horsemanship for children with disabilities.
    When I am not working with animals, I am working at the health care clinic owned by my husband Jaime and I, where we provide services to low income, minority neighborhoods. We have been on the frontlines fighting covid19. I also have a passion for art and I am an award winning painter and photographer and published author. I am naturally very introverted but I am extroverted about sharing my passions and doing my part to make the world a better place!

    I raised Guineafowl for 4H and my Keets were so tame they would huddle up with me to eat fresh sprouts and mealworms right from my hand, even as adults they would run to greet me when I came home from school because I always had treats. My favorite to give them was crickets because watching them scatter to grab one was the kind of fun you had as a boy on a farm in the 70s. Later as an adult, I raised exotic birds from the tiniest Finches and Button Quail all the way up to Emu, with a bunch of squawking parrots thrown in the mix. I had Tufted Guineafowl from South Africa and Reichenow’s Guineafowl from Tanzania. The ones out in my yard were West African Guineafowl the domesticated ones we see everywhere.

    Honestly love to own a couple but not so i could eat them. When you see them right in front of you, you will see that they have intelligence and also the most adorable little beady eyes. And now i learned a out their tick eating habit, so they are the best fowl one can have.

    I didn't know any of this. Good go know.
    I mostly know them as very entertaining birds. I remember a museum I visited as a kid had them freeroaming the garden. And sometimes 1 of them would just start running for no reason which will cause a chainreaction of the whole flock running for literally no reason. I as a kid couldn't stop laughing.

    We had a single guinea hen gifted to us by a local farm feed store. It had escaped the enclosure and no one had been able to corner it to sell it. They said if you can catch it you can have it. That summer and the next we were virtually tick free as that little hen would venture into the field eating ticks like we eat chips!! My wife didn’t appreciate the call of the bird as it was fairly constant, she needed a flock to settle down and our chickens just never understood her!😂

    guinea fowl are prevelant in Malawi, kept in villages as a "very sophisticated" meat. They only cook or eat these if it is a special occasion. I have personally encountered and observed these birds in the wild and in their natural habitat. They are SO MUCH bigger when kept in captivity here, they rely on very little in their natural habitat, the ones shown in this video are much larger then the ones in Africa. But they are solitary animals in the village that I visit 2-3 times a year, my son was adopted from there as well. They are much smaller when kept in their original environment in Africa. ":)
