The Ruffed Grouse also commonly reffered to as a partridge, can be found in forests across Canada and the Appalachian Mountains. It can also be found in the northern United States including Alaska. The Ruffed Grouse is a non-migratory bird so it's habitat stays the same year round.
Ruffed grouse are generally not aggressive towards humans and typically avoid confrontation. However, during the breeding season, males may display aggressive behavior to defend their territory, which can include charging at perceived threats. Such encounters are rare and usually involve bluff displays rather than actual attacks. Overall, ruffed grouse are more likely to flee than engage with people.
Young ruffled grouse often exhibit a behavior known as "tamelessness" in the fall and early winter, where they may appear unafraid of humans and approach them closely. This behavior can make people mistakenly think they are foolish or lacking in survival instincts. In reality, this behavior is an adaptive strategy to minimize energy expenditure and increase chances of survival during the challenging winter months. It allows them to conserve energy by not fleeing from potential threats unless absolutely necessary.
