Greater Prairie-Chicken
The Greater Prairie-Chicken is a large bird native to the grasslands of North America, primarily found in the central United States. It is known for its distinctive courtship displays, where males puff out their air sacs and produce booming sounds to attract females. These birds prefer open prairies and grasslands, relying on these habitats for food and nesting.
This species primarily feeds on seeds, grasses, and insects. The Greater Prairie-Chicken has experienced population declines due to habitat loss from agriculture and urban development. Conservation efforts are underway to protect their remaining habitats and ensure their survival in the wild.
