Description
Some of you already know my friend, but I thought the photo was the best looking one (recently found it in the library,) so here he is again.For those of you who don't know this kind of bird (capercaillie, mountain cock or woodgrouse - in my language it's "Auerhahn"), heres a little hilarious video:Β
youtu.be/PQtl6tuOrVA?t=117 (my favorite scene is the end when the reporter is screaming like a little child haha)
They are usually pretty shy and silent but once a year when the hormones take control they go completely nuts...and they don't care how big the enemy is...humans, bicycles, trucks and other cars...they don't care. I think they are also so rare because they tried fighting wolves, bears and lynx haha...

Thank you!
Yes it's supposed to be semi funny.
I got this word/term from a series...and usually the persons who are called bossman are persons with authority on the other hand a bit...arrogrant and hilarious at the same time...

Well I took photos of him (no chicks around unfortunately) at 3 different locations. At the highest point of the mountain, the entry of the forest and in the forest ...because this guy was chasing me haha.

I would very much love to see them. Goodness did not know they are that aggressive, I guess he did not want his photo taken

Thank you! Yeah, I guess it's the same thing everywhere...I recently watched a hunting video from Lapland and they seem to have "enough" to allow people hunting them...I still don't think that this is cool. It's such a beautiful and kinda majestic creature (like most deer)...I wouldn't want to hunt one...I don't hunt at all...xD...but if I was a hunter...then I wouldn't hunt them...

Haha thanks a lot! I actually still get goosebumps when thinking about the flap flap noise that his wings made while he was chasing me down the mountain...and I'm not joking here. xD
I hate sounds in my back xD.

They look like the American Turkey's well dressed cousin .

Haha.
I heard that people actually eat these guys (like turkeys), but in my country they are basically an endangered species...and even if it was allowed I would never want to eat one of them...

I can see why. They are too beautiful of creatures to hunt.
