Black grouse or black cock. It is a species of sedentary bird, symbol of the European Alps and Scandinavia. Its distribution is northern and boreal-mountain. With a wingspan of 65 to 80 cm, the black grouse lives in clearings, the edges of coniferous forests mixed with birches and humid moors. In winter, it builds a kind of igloo in the snow, where the temperature stays around 4°C.
