Re: [MBZ] Too bad halloween is over

That's pretty funny. Once I chanced upon a grouse hen with her brood of chicks, 
and caught one of the chicks. Momma didn't like that, and came back at me to 
get her chick. I had the chick cupped between both hands, it was peeping away, 
momma was clucking and threatening me, but couldn't do much. I was teenager, 
much to big for her to harm me. After a few seconds I let the chick go, and she 
chased it over to the rest of the brood and we went our separate ways.

 My great uncle Paris had one like that when I was maybe 13 or 14. He called it 
"Little Joe". It lived down by our camp, he'd drive out and the bird would see 
his car and come running. IIRC he fed it Cheerios but I might be 
miss-remembering that because he fed everything Cheerios.

This picture could inspire a good halloween costume.

It is actually a grouse who adopted some people we know.  It adopted 
them, and follows them around when they are outside.  They don't feed 
it.  When they are inside, it does normal grouse things.   It is named 
"chicken"  She can go outside and call "Chicken" and it will come 
running.   It whirrs, chirps and squeaks very much like a guinea pig.

It is a great non-pet pet.   (or no maintenance companion)

I’ve shot grouse. Difficult birds to hit in flight.

This picture could inspire a good halloween costume.

It is actually a grouse who adopted some people we know.  It adopted 
them, and follows them around when they are outside.  They don't feed 
it.  When they are inside, it does normal grouse things.   It is named 
"chicken"  She can go outside and call "Chicken" and it will come 
running.   It whirrs, chirps and squeaks very much like a guinea pig.
