Evil grouse

I went skiing and was attacked by a vicious PTARMIGAN . I tried to ski away but it chased me down and bit me!

It was an evil grouse in a fowl mood.

After it attacked me, it brought down a kid on a snowboard many times its own size.

I was thinking,.. They could make a new movie like The Birds. Except it could be at a ski resort in the winter, and vicious ptarmigans could run out of the woods and attack unsuspecting skiiers and snowboarders. Instead of The Birds, it could be called THE GROUSE. People would flock to see it...

Just kidding. It must have had a nest somewhere it was protecting.
