The title says Connecticut man while the article says New Hampshire man. Which one is it? Because this is totally typical for New Hampshire Man, but Connecticut Man? No way!!

Uh huh. Male grouse. Here’s a less friendly version (there’s sufficient warning at beginning of video CC=English):
The Crazy Rackelhahn (Rackelwild)

TL;DR

One bird beats another bird to death. Rips its head off. Then proceeds to fuck the corpse.

The lusty Lyrebird (click-bait)… One strange trick that Lyrebirds do to attract a mate:

I thought I was prepared, but I was not.

Also make sure to keep that guys wife and kids away from Walter.

So, per the vid male grouse appear to be tame (hanging around you) but are actually just protecting their territory and attack trespassers. That would explain the “friendly” grouse on the guy’s shoulder.
