The Capercaillie is a large bird native to the forests of Europe and parts of Asia. It is known for its distinctive appearance, featuring a dark plumage with a striking white wing patch and a fan-shaped tail. Males are larger than females and are famous for their elaborate courtship displays during the breeding season. This bird primarily feeds on a diet of leaves, berries, and seeds. The Capercaillie is a ground-nesting species, often found in coniferous forests where it can camouflage itself among the foliage. Due to habitat loss and hunting, its population has declined in some areas, leading to conservation efforts.
