Bird #4

The Rock Ptarmigan is 34-36 cm long, 13-14 inch long. the wing spand is 54-60 cm wide. They live in mountains and make their homes in rocks high up so no preators can eat the young. They mostly eat birch and willow buds, but also eat seeds, flowers, leaves, and berries. The are white in the winter and brown in the summer. The prey of this bird would be another bird like an eagle. Befor they make the male will croak really loudly and a female will come, the male then straightens the comb and they mate.
