I fixed your link, that was some funny stuff.

 

Thanks for fixing the link.
That was a mean one,was glad when I got out of there.

 

Where is your 12 gauge when you need it? I wonder if she had some babies nearby.

 

Funny!

 

I hope that you are ok, as I was laughing pretty hard.

 

Hahaha, huff disse tiurane ekje til å spøke med, håpa det gikk bra når du datt.

 

Looked like a very large grouse but tail feathers looked kind of like wild turkey. A Black Grouse maybe or Capercaillie?

Dinner is served...

 

I dont know the English name for this bird.
It is related to the grouse but is much larger.The are normalt very shy,but males can sometime behave like this in the mating season.

The Norwegian name for it is " TIUR ".Try to google that name to find out more.

 

I'd have kicked a field goal with that sucker!!
