	grouse
		The red grouse is a species unique to the British Isles and is generally found in the uplands of the country, particularly the north of England, Scotland and the northern part of Ireland.
		Red grouse are mainly monogamous, the cocks staying with the hens throughout the rearing process and the family tending to stay together as a covey late into the year.
		Red grouse are prone to the diseases of strongylosis and louping ill. The former is carried by a parasitic worm which lowers the bird's resistance to infection from other diseases.

		The most common eastern American grouse is the ruffed grouse (sometimes miscalled partridge or pheasant), Bonasa umbellus, a forest bird noted for the drumming sound made by the male during its elaborate courtship dance.

	Grouse (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The Black grouse is found elsewhere in Europe but the Red grouse is unique to the uplands of Britain and is closely associated with open heather moorland.
		Paradoxically, it is due to shooting that the Red grouse itself is not on the endangered species list, and that many of the birds which share it's habitat have not died out altogether.
		Grouse are wild birds and cannot be artificially reared, so moorland keepers need long experience to manage effectively-often generations from the same family.

		The Study investigated the effects of raptor predation on the numbers of red grouse: hen harrier and peregrine were the subjects of the research.
		Birds of prey were not wiping out the grouse population - but they were affecting the autumn 'bag': overall, it decreased by up to half during 1992-96, and by over 90% in the last two years of the study.
		The greatest enemy of red grouse is the sheep - not the harrier or peregrine.

		The Red Grouse is a very dark bird, especially in flight and differs from its cousin the Ptarmigan by never turning completely white in winter.
		On hatching, Grouse chicks are similar to other game birds with their distinctive markings, and will keep close to the hen till they are large enough to fend for themselves, usually between 10 – 14 weeks of age.
		Grouse cannot be artificially reared and released successfully so it can be genuinely said that all grouse are completely wild and like all wild creatures the grouse population is determined by the ability of the bird to reproduce successfully.

		Red grouse have been a quarry species for years, but the sport only became a source of lucrative business when the breech-loading gun was invented in the mid 19th century, and the railways provided access to the moors.

	Strongylosis control in red grouse: Biology and life-cycle of Trichstrongylosis tenuis
		Part of the traditional management of grouse moors is to place quartz grit out on the hill at convenient locations for the birds.
		For reducing worms in grouse, quartz grit is used that has been treated with a thin covering of palm oil into which an anthelmintic drug is impregnated.
		To gain the greatest uptake by red grouse of medicated grit an effective gritting system needs to be established, providing access to a number of grit heaps in each grouse territory.

		Red grouse is the most popular game bird in Scotland, where hunting on the large estates is both a cherished sport and of great economic importance.
		In the spring of 2003, the Scottish scientists trapped and treated adult red grouse with medicated leg bands in hopes that the treatment would prevent ticks from biting newly hatched nestlings.
		In August, some estates were holding their first red grouse drives in several years to see whether the populations had increased.

	GROUSE Case
		The district court reasoned that the Vogelwet protection of the red grouse was consistent with Articles 30 and 36 of the EEC Treaty because its objective was to protect the wild bird population in Europe.
		The Court noted the likelihood of a causal connection between the means (Dutch import prohibition on dead red grouse) and the objective (the increase of the bird's population in Europe).
		Adding that the red grouse is not currently an endangered species, it characterized measures to protect that bird as not a priority under Community law.

		The future of Britain’s red grouse is in jeopardy following the death of vast quantities of birds from the disease strongylosis.
		Grouse affected by the disease are usually seen from late February onwards, with the classic ‘owl-like’ flight from the red grouse the first indication of an outbreak.
		Moorland owners are well used to highs and lows in grouse shooting, but the fact that the grouse population was already down due to high winds during last year’s breeding season has meant that the grouse numbers are far lower than usual.

	Ecology: Experimental prevention of a population cycle in Red Grouse
		We studied a population of Red Grouse Lagopus lagopus scoticus that showed unstable dynamics in the form of regular cycles in numbers, and measured the relative importance of recruitment and loss during a natural cycle and an experimentally perturbed one.
		Time-series analyses of the numbers of Red Grouse shot between 1849 and 1938 (Middleton 1934, Mackenzie 1952, Moran 1952, Williams 1985) in much of northeast Scotland typically showed cycles with a period of 6-7 yr.
		Rotational burning, as management for Red Grouse (Watson and Miller 1976), was broadly similar over the whole moor, except that an accidental fire burned 20% of the west hill in 1985.

		You cannot (with minor exceptions) raise grouse and release them to be hunted and shot under controlled conditions—not the red grouse of Scotland, which lives unrepentantly wild and once sparked an emergency debate in the British House of Commons over the state of the grouse moors.
		Grouse season here is long in terms of days, running from September to December, but it is sandwiched between the departure of the leaves and the arrival of the moose hunters, who are followed quickly by the snow, which shuts things down for good.
		Spruce grouse, found in the deepest woods, are handsome creatures, well groomed with impeccable manners, unlike the ruffian ruffs which, if they were human, would be outlaw bikers.
