A male black grouse, a large game bird with black plumage found in Europe.
Compound of 'black' and 'cock' (Old English 'cocc', a rooster or male bird). Named for the male's black coloring.
Male blackcocks perform elaborate mating displays called 'lekking' where they gather on traditional grounds to show off with jumps, hisses, and tail displays—these ritual grounds can be used for centuries by the same species.
