Grouse like the capercaillie, the black grouse, and the ptarmigan have feathered toes: this increases their surface area and prevents them from sinking into the snow - like snowshoes. To conserve energy, these birds don't take any unnecessary steps in winter – when it gets particularly cold, they dig themselves a small burrow in the snow. Disturbing them is like pulling the covers off their beds: they fly up and usually spend the rest of the day without any protection from the cold. Therefore, please stay away from wildlife sanctuaries and let the grouse hibernate peacefully in their "igloos"!
