Grouse Courting I watch the Grouse do their dance, As each feather is enhanced, Vane or down, they’re preened and cleaned. Keeping them healthy and streamed. At the tail’s base, an oil gland, That makes the feathers dry and grand. From barb to rachis, they’re beak nibbled; For the courtship ritual.
