black grouse is a mountain forest bird. The male bird is almost all black. The unique thing is its 18 dark brown tail feathers. The three outer pairs are particularly elongated and curved outward in the shape of a sickle, which is very similar to the shape of the Western guqin, so it is also called "black grouse".
Every spring is the season for birds to court. Male birds often fight in order to compete for female birds. The courtship battle of the male black grouse is particularly tragic, and it is the "fighter" among the chickens. Every day at dawn and at sunset, the roosters flock in a fixed place, fighting against each other, the grass is flying, the sound of fighting is endless, the winner receives the female bird back, and the loser leaves.
