- I was cycling alone in the woods near nethiebridge april 2019 when this cock buzzed me , stood on a post displaying for a few minutes, then chased me up the road . Every time I started walking away he came after me. Eventually i jumped on the bike and zoomed away and he did not fly after me.

The way he runs with his head up and trying to hide his feet with his feathers at 2:01 just kills me. He looks like a Looney Tunes character sneaking around.
Yes. He was making a roaring noise by rubbing his wings on the ground, rather like riot police beating their shields ( I hope you never get to check that simile).
@@borisacat9182 Haha! Fortunately I have not been around too many riot police lately. I'd be more terrified of the capercaillie anyways.
I hear "Smooth criminal" beats
He drags his wings on the ground. 🙄
For me I was scared. 😨😰
You know it's weird, I never even heard of this bird until today and now TH-cam is sending me all these caipercaillie attack videos! I find them very entertaining and I can't get over the bizarre sounds they make!!!
They're super interesting. Such strangely aggressive animals in a non-aggressive way.
@@jenss.3613 Well, they are relatively nice to us, might slap you a few times, might even bite, but to other males they are super vicious and I hear they can even cause life-threatening injuries to each other sometimes, I'm sure that's not very common though, after all they still all treasure their lives and could wait till next year to come back stronger. The reason for such aggression is unlike most birds, the alpha takes ALL the females, so winning really matters a lot, quite opposite of doves and such birds, which are very calm because they all mate in the end pretty much and mate for life too, unlike these guys which chose mack-ing as their way of life, or I guess the females made that choice for them..
hahaha same
They have the personality of a goose. Pretty much assholes lol
They are exclusive to Europe and Russia.
Yes, we not only have the boring animals here ...
sounds like an 80s fax machine
😄
Oh gods ur right...
😂
Brilliant 😂
Jurassic Park, Capercaillie edition
oh lawd this does sound like something they spliced into those mixed audio roars.
Too XD
They like to square up with people
Exactly! Do not let them spit in your eyes, and watch out for their back ups.
why do i hear boss music
Love the low key Blair Witch vibe in these encounter videos - it's kind of like if horror can be dialed down to mild inconvenience
It's the Blair Witch but instead it just clicks and hisses at you and whacks you with one of his wings because you're hanging out in his favorite part of the woods
@@hognosemyan no it would eviscerate you if you didn't leave
Yeah if I just heard these noises in the woods at night, i'd shit my pants.
Sounds like the FNAF security cams
i love the little sprint it does whenever he reaches a certain distance to get nearer haha
He sound like an angry camera!
...I cant un hear that now shyyt!!
Legend has it he's still following Boris to this day
This is the first time I've ever heard of this bird. It looks like some kind of demon peacock! XD When it hisses, it sounds like an old rotary phone being dialed.
Demon peacock 🤣 spot on, you should have been the one to scientifically name him that
LOL the old phone sound is also spot on XD
dammit, I didn't read down far enuf, just typed the same thing re the phone
The bird is so cute omg 🥰 with his funny little red eyebrows 🤣
@@ConnieTheCathartes yes I know, aren't they birds though ? 😅
@@Aurorya Though*
I had to do it! Haha
@@IosifStalinsendsyoutoGulag Thanks, I always struggle with this word 😅
@@IosifStalinsendsyoutoGulag nope
@@Aurorya struggle*
TH-cam has been showing me birds I never knew existed this past week and I'm here for it
I like how he drags his wing-tips, showing you just how masculine, virile, strong, sexy, fierce he is. North American wild turkeys do the same thing, and also display the beautiful tail feathers.
So do Roosters. Guess they aren't all so different
Sage Grouse (cousins to these guys, who are also called Wood Grouse) do the same and also attack the same way, by beating things with their wings. Capercaillie's and Sage Grouse actually have a wing striking force that's enough to bruise skin and even break bones in some cases.
You gotta admire the little dinosaur. He sees a behemoth of flesh, just one of a species of Lovecraftian Horrors 7 billion strong. A creature that destroys entire ecosystems accidentally. A living extinction event. ... and he says “I’m gonna fuck that dude up”
And the behemoth just laughs, saying "i think he wants to have a go at me"
@@doublewhopper67 What he's saying is that we are weird creatures that don't seem to fit in with ecosystems, but that this weird birds response to us is to treat us as a potential rival and attack.
How can something be so adorable and terrifying at the same time?
He attacks like a sideways woman in kimono with red eye shadow😂
Ditto
A fierce opponent as any
OK, I did a little reading, and found out that this is actually a type of grouse. The reason they reacted like that is because we're invading their territory, hence the male coming at you. Also, this would be time for mating season, so there might be females nearby.
Addendum: the capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus) is the world's largest species of grouse, weighing up to fifteen pounds/ seven kilograms. Though that's too small to be truly dangerous to an adult human, they can be rather unpleasant, able to deliver a hard peck and a bruising wing-wack. I don't blame Mr. Acat for avoiding a clash.
I hope the females were impressed with him taking on that biker.
Its the mating season stuff that gets them going crazy. They like open areas for their displays and a road is one.
That bird has an intermittent vacuum leak, and needs a tuneup.
Imagine hearing that demon at night holy s**t
That bird would be creepy at night
I love how it runs like a 2-bit video game character at 2:00
Get your shield and sword ready. Make sure you have a healing potion.
The way it speed shuffles is hilarious 🤣
He sounds like old summers. Film camera and beachball inflating. Very nice animal.
His hormone level is so high, he wants to fight with the most dangerous creature on Earth.
I dont know why hes running from a freak turkey like bruh
Probably because he doesn't want to hurt the bird, or be hurt by it. A capercaillie may not be truly dangerous, but those wing elbows can deliver a painful wack.
@@salvest3rr have you ever been kicked by a chicken??
@@Maggie66112 no my chickens are friendly 2 will sit in your lap and let you pet them lol
@@salvest3rr then don't act like he didn't have to run
He was really tryna tip toe up on you when you’re tryna leave lol
If that's not a Modern Day Dinosaur, nothing is.
It’s obvious you don’t like in Australia
@@AceDeclan Cassowary and Emus really are scary and beautiful; a look back into Earth's past.
Shoebill storks are very strange-looking, too.
Beautiful bird. He was just protecting his home.
Wow you are so smart!
@@giacomo8875 wow, you are nice.
Wow, you are pretty
His home must be pretty massive then, they walked quite a distance
So?.
clic clic KEH-KEHGUËH clic
(Such strange noises lmao 🤣)
translation to czech : t t chhhhhhhhh t :D :D
That bird sounds and moves like a Velociraptor. Seeing that birds are an evolution from dinosaurs, maybe he is a Velociraptor?
And to think, this is a vegetarian. Imagine if it ate meat, then it'd be closer to a raptor.
Dude, this guy would eat a velociraptor
They are magnificent! What a privilege, (though I feel the bird would not agree : ) and such beautiful area. Moments like these are priceless.
These birds have successfully evolved the ability to mimic the sound of a Polaroid camera taking a picture
LoL 😂
I hope this bird and his sound is used for a scary video game lol
Sounds like he can be in The Last of Us
@@ConnieTheCathartes yes I know.
@@DavidElkind42 exactly!!! It's a clicker😂
@@ConnieTheCathartes caterpillars don't make noise dumbass
Scotland has 2 extant dinosaur species: Nessie, and these guys.
I thought Nessie was more of a plesiosaur.
@@lakojake4215
Nessie is Nessie.
Eagles and Swans: are we a joke to you?
badass bird =v
yes indeed. That is what testosterone does to you. It does not feel pity or remorse or pain.......; or was that something else? Anyway, badass.
The red material around its eyes makes it look like it has red eyes like a Decepticon from the front. Decepticons = evil = dangerous, so go figure. :o
Careful man; I've encountered these things before in Xen, the borderworld. It's charging up its sonic attack.
Actually I'm not sure if houndeyes were birds but I know in blackmesas xen update there are alpha houndeye variants with wings so maybe they are
He is so beautiful! 😍 and very protective of his home! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Just imagine having those birds as guards! I could see me having them protect my property if I had ten of them.
Grouses are fucking hella mean
2:00 Fascinating shuffling movement. A very curious bird.
A few years ago a Finnish friend told me about metso's (capercaillie) do I've been searching their videos on TH-cam. Glad I got recommended this.
I never saw such a bird. I got to learn more about this creature that I had no clue existed. Wow!!
Thank you for showing us this magnificent bird.
What time of day did you find this bird? Im in the area looking for these capercaillie and would like to find this rouge male 😊
Never heard of or saw a bird such as this! Wow - thanks for posting!
These grouse have the coolest, ancient-sounding, clicky sound to them.
Was..was that thing making velociraptor noises?
Greeting from Brazil. Super like for your video. Lovely bird. I subscribe in your channel. Beautiful nature. Where is the place ?
near Aviemore in Scotland, Britain.
Oh my goodness!! So much sass, in one little bird. 🖤🖤
That bird was in a fowl mood.
Indeed. Capercailles are known for getting feisty during the mating season.
he was nice. Slowly coming and start intimidating instead of immediate attack and biting.
thank you for sharing this video!
This species is slipping towards extinction in the UK (for the second time) and is very easily disturbed. The advice is to steer well clear of any birds and to leave immediately if causing disturbance - filming a clearly distressed bird is not good for it.
Well this feels ripe for an Oblivion NPC dialogue meme ( + battle music).
How do these people let it get so close without punting it like a field goal?
clear sign of too much testosteron !
There’s footage of one of these attacking a news guy from a few years ago. These things must be pretty agressive

He's really beautiful. And his calls are so cool!❤❤
I can't figure out if he's trying to chase you away, or mate with you.
Beautiful bird. Some kind of grouse?
It belongs to the family of grouse birds last time i checked
What a big, gorgeous, grumpy bird.
Thought he was going to spit fire 🔥😳.
He was definitely gearing up for it, that cyclist had seconds to spare! 🔥 🐲
Capercaillie: ŒKEEERRRRRRRRRRRRclickclick
Fellow: ok I think I’ve upset you I’ll clear off now
02:00 Love how even evolution has alien-esque weird walking as a tool to scare stuff.
Wheres Peter Griffin when you need him...
North american here. My dad didn't believe me when I told him there was a partridge the size of a turkey! Look at him go!
Keeping the bike theme, this chap sounds like the free standing pump for my bike tyres !!
You can only imagine how many birders would all but kill for an encounter like this. I was in Aviemore in March 2022. If only I had known of this possibility.
Are they Same related species of peacock?
Such a scary bird yikes. At a distance I thought it was a species of turkey.
Always wanted to see one of these in the wild, I failed ☹ Thanks for posting 👍
My favorite chicken-bird of all, full of character! In Rus their population is around 3-4M.
You ever think of typing something but when you push the first letter, TH-cam automatically knows what your looking for?
it sees you as a potential mate, displaying its feathers and moving in a shuffle pattern. like a kind of mating ritual
Wow! What a gorgeous bird!
Capercaillie, while fast-hustling on its little feet: "Hey! Don't you fucking walk away from me!"
Stunnimg and very smart animals they're
Just discovered capercaillies from a Finn's comment in a Ukraine youtube. He moves like he's on wheels, not feet. It's fascinating.
Fearless af
There are tons of these big birds in Norway. When the snow has just left an open field after the winter, generally the male birds come out in large numbers and perform this kind of play against each other while the female birds are watching from a distance. Not wise to come too close for humans.
Same gorgeous red eyebrows as the Willow Ptarmigan, a bird that also has a very odd call when it's doing its threat displays.
A very rare bird now days . Last count was around 549 in the uk in Scotland. Its a rare sight . They are protected and in the endangered red list . Its a wildlife photographer dream to film that bird ❤
So sad that they're endangered :( I hope efforts are being made to protect them. Super cool birds.
Sounds like some old gnarly camera flash
It's beak looks EXACTLY like the beaks of the Muppets chickens when they're annoyed!!! XD
Imagine if these things were nocturnal - you're camping in the woods at night and hear "cli-click....hisssssssss.....cli-click....... hisssssss."
Like Jurassic Park with Dennis Nedry.
Awesome looking bird
_"Should I spell it out? GET THE, FOK OOOOOUT!"_
Didn't know such a bird existed, wow it's so beautyful
That imitation turkey just wanted a hug lol
On a binge of these videos and am convinced these things crawled out of a hole that leads to Hell.
I swear my thing is that it keeps following him when he tries to leave you want them out of your territory and you keep following him gosh darn it why don't you follow me towards an oven.🤣🤣
🤣 that bird moves like grudge ghost
Der erste Vogel der nicht läuft, er rollt definitiv... So ein Prachthahn...💖😁🤩
Great clip. That voice. Those eyes.
"I think we may have a problem here..."
This is why you don't go into the tall grass without a Pokemon!
Capercaille: My call is scary
It sounds like a burp
Bird: What's up bruh! Why you disrespecting bruh!
Imagine this thing 15 feet tall: thats basically a Therizinosaurus
Plz name bird ?
I remember getting bitten by a chicken that was around that size (Cornish 'X-Rock') and I have to tell you that large beak hurts like hell.
that looks like a rare pokemon
Capercaillies are A-MAZING. Love those birds!!
