This is a video of a Finnish Willow Grouse (aka Riekko Mukana) making the sounds that it makes. I’ve heard the bird’s vocalization described as “annoying” and “unnerving”, but it’s really just more unusual than anything, not unlike its choice of mascara. Now I’m not saying I’d want to wake up to the sound of one, but I don’t want to wake up to the sound of a rooster crowing either. Honesty, I don’t want to wake up to the sound of any bird, I just want to sleep in until I naturally wake up in time for happy hour.
