@birds.wildlife.nature: A grassland chicken trying to turn into a rabbit seems to be mumbling something. Its courtship strategy is all about versatility—look, even shape-shifting is part of the plan! The greater prairie-chicken or pinnated grouse (Tympanuchus cupido), sometimes called a boomer, is a large bird in the grouse family. Greater prairie-chickens do not migrate. They are territorial birds and often defend their booming grounds. These booming grounds are the area in which they perform their displays in hopes of attracting females. Their displays consist of inflating air sacs located on the side of their neck and snapping their tails. These booming grounds usually have very short or no vegetation. The male prairie-chickens stay on this ground displaying for almost two months. #greaterprairiechicken #birds #didyouknow
