Capercaillie displays and attacks cyclist near Aviemore 2019 mp4 

😄

Oh gods ur right...

😂

Brilliant 😂

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 ...

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. 😨😰

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

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 cant un hear that now shyyt!!

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.

@@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*

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

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.

Ditto

A fierce opponent as any

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.

Get your shield and sword ready. Make sure you have a healing potion.

That bird would be creepy at night

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

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.

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?.

translation to czech : t t chhhhhhhhh t :D :D

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

I thought Nessie was more of a plesiosaur.

@@lakojake4215 Nessie is Nessie.

Eagles and Swans: are we a joke to you?

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

LoL 😂

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

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

Grouses are fucking hella mean

near Aviemore in Scotland, Britain.

Der erste Vogel der nicht läuft, er rollt definitiv... So ein Prachthahn...💖😁🤩

Indeed. Capercailles are known for getting feisty during the mating season.

It belongs to the family of grouse birds last time i checked

He was definitely gearing up for it, that cyclist had seconds to spare! 🔥 🐲

So sad that they're endangered :( I hope efforts are being made to protect them. Super cool birds.
