capercailzie
kap-er-KALE-yee
The largest grouse in the world — a forest bird the size of a turkey, with iridescent green-black plumage and a red brow. Driven to extinction in Scotland in the 18th century by deforestation and hunting, then reintroduced from Swedish stock. Its courtship display involves clicking, popping, and a sound like a cork being pulled from a bottle.
Etymology
Scottish Gaelic: capall-coille, horse of the woods. From capall (horse, mare) + coille (forest).
