Talk:Greater prairie-chicken

Untitled

This is a great article. For example I did not know these birds were related to the grouse. An interesting factoid can be added, actually from my grandmother who lived on the prairie all of her life. According to her, on very rare occassions prairie chickens can be seen dancing in a circle. This is almost never witnessed by humans, and in her case she happened to see them when berry picking in the brush. I would like to know whether there are any explanations to this type of behaviour --Horn75.196.17.94 03:59, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

As it says in the article, it's called Booming or Lekking. Native Americans imitate them in their dances. Speciate 00:49, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Common name

The common name does not match the official AOU common name: Greater Prairie-Chicken, not Greater Prairie Chicken. Same for the Lesser Prairie-Chicken. The hyphen indicates that this species is not a type of chicken. References: http://checklist.aou.org/taxa/108 http://checklist.aou.org/taxa/109

Is there a good reason not to fix this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cwilsonc (talk • contribs) 16:38, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Wrong Name

It seems that this article still has the wrong name. It should be greater prairie-chicken, with a hyphen. 148.85.255.244 (talk) 01:59, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

I've now moved the article. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:57, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
