He’s not failing at all. The skier is terrified and in fear of being attacked, which is why he won’t dare move a muscle and tries hard to make calming noises. God only knows how this ended, or if the lad even survived this encounter.
A study was done, I hope a noninvasive one, and grouse cocks who challenge humans, automobiles, T-34 tanks, etc., to territorial fights were found to have about 5 times normal testosterone.
Now imagine if it was night and it was slowly approaching while making that sound. Pretty scary... I think it wants to mate. It's displaying beautiful plumage and isn't attacking.
Yes, that's during mating season and is part of the mating display, BUT the grouse cock wants to fight the skier. That wouldn't occur at night because the wood grouse is diurnal.
i was sort of hoping for a video of some foreign tourists running into one while on a ski trip and just being like "WTF is this thing!?". it is attempted murder in corporeal form.
They're not rare at all. They range from the British Isles to Siberia. This is a mating display. I'd suggest reading up on zoology a little so you won't write such foolish things.
I came here by way of wimp.com that seems like one very confused grouse. It certainly looks like some sort of courtship display. I wonder if these birds are endangered. Maybe this one hasn't see one of the opposite sex for awhile and it's getting desperate?
You missed opportunity to make some serious clickbait: "Skier's last moments caught on video*" (*) Last moments for the day, expires at 11:59PM each day
It's like... a friendly demon turkey.
You win the internets sir. Good day.
It's a giant territorial Grouse. The Old World is void of Wild Turkeys.
@@spindalis79
Grouse territorial as fuck
this is so grouse-some
Oh they are NOT friendly at all. This guy's trying to challenge the skiier.
At 0:12 you can clearly see how the capercaillie paralyses the skier just by its crazy look. It has most probably eaten the poor guy shortly after.
jesus christ, it even taunts him by its wood saw sound
Hahahahaha 🤣🤣
This is probably the least aggressive Capercaillie I've ever seen.
Yeah, it's not mating season. It's just being territorial 😄
Protect these marvelous birds.
I'm not sure who created that, but it wasn't me.
Ask your dad. He created all things. ;)
No way that is you pewdiepie got fired from fiver :D
@@YouBazingawho cares what created what things just came to be
L o l
😂
My favorite bird. The gangster of the forests.
"Pick up the can." "I said pick up the can"
Seriously, this thing sounds like a combine soldier.
holy shit you're right!
Don't just sit there man. Give him what he's asking for... eggnog.
1:03 love that face 😄
You fell and the bird just walked over and said hello
Anyone that posted a thumbs down... your grounded. This is a gorgeous encounter. Brilliant.
This is like a dinosaur, very very cool!
Well it is a bird so it literally is a dinosaur :3
Birds are descendants of the only dinosaur order to survive the K-T Event.
Gorgeous bird. Thanks for posting this. It must have been a magical experience.
birbs that haven't forgotten their roots
Omg thank you so much for the laughs. This is what youtube comments were created for!!!
I genuinely feel sorry for this birb.
Giving everything it has to frighten away a potential predator and failing miserably.
He’s not failing at all. The skier is terrified and in fear of being attacked, which is why he won’t dare move a muscle and tries hard to make calming noises. God only knows how this ended, or if the lad even survived this encounter.
That's not what's going on here. The grouse cock is challenging the skier to a duel.
Ah, yes! The Red-eyed Belching Snow Parrot! Haven't seen one in years!
Caper is no parrot; caper is a _Pirate!_ tok... tok.. tok,tok,tok ARGHGGHGHGH!
Oh no. This is a Gothic Pinewood Turkey!
This bird has no fear 😱
A study was done, I hope a noninvasive one, and grouse cocks who challenge humans, automobiles, T-34 tanks, etc., to territorial fights were found to have about 5 times normal testosterone.
@@babablacksheep5914 wow that's a cool fact
Nonchalantly googles capercaillie after watching this video.....
Also called wood grouse, habitat ranging from the British Isles to Siberia.
I have a feeling ill see this on daily dose of internet 🤔
How wonderful!!
Now imagine if it was night and it was slowly approaching while making that sound. Pretty scary...

These are so fascinating!
WHAT ARE YA DOIN... moves closer to camera... IN MU SWAMP
Stunning clip. This one has a slightly different voice from what I’ve heard so far. There’s more of a deep growl in there.
*A wild pokemon appears*
It’s not in rut...at least it’s not flying into your face. They are very aggressive during mating season.♥️🤣
thats as close to a dinosaur ure ever gonna get
Not true. I rode on a T-rex at the petting zoo last weekend.
He's got defensive posture but something about him tells me he's more curious than angry. That's kind of adorable.
What a strange creature!
if that beak touches your face, you are done for.
what pokemon is this?
They are critically endangered. I'm sad I may never get to see one in person.
Only in some countries. They're pretty common in Russia and the Nordic countries.
The wood grouse ranges from the British Isles to Siberia. It's a species of least concern of extinction. Read the Wikipedia article.
1:03 "I ain't playin wit u dawg..."
oh gosh, he needs a girl desperately

that clicking burp sound means "get the fuck out of here"
Cool encounter. Anyone know where this happened?
Could a person feed them? What do they eat?
They seem to survive very well feeding themselves. A cock in this state of mind would probably ignore anything you tried to give him.
LoL 😂 dark vada of bird world LoL 😂 hillarious
You've encountered a wild pokemon!
This bird was so dangerous that the cameramen could not stand it
Birdy has a hiccup
What's that bird have to grouse about? Is it doing a mating display, being friendly making a failed threat display or just curious?
Challenging, to defend his territory, during mating season.
I wouldn't want to be bit by that beak.
It’s a void chicken!!!
Hench forest snow chicken.
sir have you heard the word of "kerkrakraaa?"
"a good boy"
Black isn't the best camouflage against snow is it? This guy's trying to be noticed. No wonder they're rare.
They want to noticed to allow others to run first lol
They're not rare at all. They range from the British Isles to Siberia. This is a mating display. I'd suggest reading up on zoology a little so you won't write such foolish things.
A real life velociraptor
What country is this amazing clip filmed in ?
@@okyhb5962 thanks so much for this info.
It’s filmed in the Italian alps actually
@@fra9376 No no it is fom Czech Republic-Jizerské hory.
The wood grouse ranges from the British Isles to Siberia.
Eh EH uhuh
the speaker needs to be replaced. Sounds like it has malfunctioned
Demon chicken, one of these attacked me in the middle of nowhere in Serbia
He thought you were weird and had to check it out
This is as close to pokemon as we can get
translation: why u filming me bro?
Twilight Realm Turkey.

Ugh. He's not confused but over-testosteroned. It's PART OF courtship but he's challenging the skier to a duel. No, they're not endangered at all.
@@babablacksheep5914 thanks for the information and clarification.
@@snevel Their range extends from the British Isles to Siberia. I recommend the Wikipedia article on western capercaillie.
these birds all act the same
I think it want to breed or fight him
poor little guy was hit by a car yesterday... only a few thousands of them left in France...
Not gonna lie he's kind of cute
woah, comments.

It has wares, if you have coin.
He say: Geh jetzt weg
That thing is a Pokemon

1:03 D:
That sound it makes is a little bit too close to human words.
my grandmother would know how to cook it
He wuvy dovys you..
Oh look, another species the last Great Extinction missed.
Downvote. What the hell kind of crack is that?
Rdv a jean roure
Ok j'arrive

The Scottish folk band sounds better, though...
