The capercaillie
A royal bird in great danger
The capercaillie is considered the feathered "king of the forest" and is the largest chicken bird in Europe. However, the survival of this species is under serious threat. There are possibly only 91 individuals left in Vorarlberg.

Masters of camouflage and perfectly adapted to their natural habitats, they are ambassadors of untouched nature. "There are a total of four species in Vorarlberg. The black grouse, the hazel grouse, about which we have little data as it lives a very reclusive life, the alpine ptarmigan and the capercaillie. The latter is definitely the rarest," says Johanna Kronberger from BirdLife Vorarlberg.
