Spruce Grouse, Hen and/or Chicks

The Spruce Grouse has earned the nickname Fool Hen or Fool's Hen. Why? Because of their trust; you can walk right up to a good many of them, which usually gets the bird in trouble. They taste like chicken to every predator in the wilds!

Spruce Grouse swallow small bits of stone through the day, and especially in the evening, to help them grind their food during the night while sitting on the roost.
