Amazing birds, just get too carried away by their mating efforts. It really is an ordeal to hunt them, though, since they are insanely keen on their surroundings when they get silent. A single wrong move, a muffled clang of a gun metal, not enough camo - you're getting spotted and that's it, no prey today.
>It really is an ordeal to hunt them
Except singing their mating song repeatabily makes them deaf for a short period of time, allowing hunters to walk several meters closer eith 0 csution before the bitd regains hearing and starts singing again.
Literally a game of red light-green light

Where I grew up you'd get whole flocks roosting on your roof overnight and then singing the song of their people when you can out to throw rocks at them to chase them off.
The males a super pissed all the time because they have a huge amount of testosterone in their system. They have ranges of dozens of miles iirc, so they'll basically spend their day roaming around looking for pussy and occasionally beating the shit out of people with their wings. Glukhars are based and don't take shit from man or beast.
It's a western capercaillie, a type of grouse - flightless birds for eating purposes. This is what the females look like. They have a peawiener-like mating dance.
Ok thank you pedants, I understand that "flightless" ground birds like chickens actually can fly short distances. It's just the word used to describe them.

I want to touch one and lovingly pin it on the ground while it attacks me.

Whoops wrong image. This is the female.
They can fly, though. Not very good at it, but they can.

They're not flightless at all.
Do they always hold their head up like this?
My uncles threw me in their turkey coop when I was 5, as a joke, and I'm still traumatized by those fricking shits.
