But what if they indeed do taste like chicken? What's wrong with mentioning that? I am prepared to share recipies if anyone is interested. Canadacow 02:19, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- There are 20 species of grouse listed. I know that at least two of them do not taste of chicken, so the statement is not correct. Anyway, this is a bilogical article, not a cookbook. jimfbleak 04:40, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

- Oh well. Sorry for my vandalism. Was just trying exercise a little bit of humor and test the self-correcting nature of the wikipedia. I shall not do it again. Canadacow 16:32, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

- No, no, no, don't apologize. Research some on relationship with humans in general, take 2 or 3 trustworthy sources, write up some paragraphs and then do a section. I have never had any grouse, and I found the idea that some (possibly many) do not taste like chicken - though they do look a lot like chicken in habitus, and they may well be - entirely plausible; not many chickens eat spruce needles. The food aspect is not one to be underestimated; I would go as far as to say it is one of the 3 top reasons who people know about these birds who don't know Lawe's Parotia.

[edit] Systematics
There has been much talk about the evolution and systematics of grouse as of recently. Perhaps someone who knows the refs could write something up. Dysmorodrepanis 03:30, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] MtDNA shows new genera
A paper on grouse seems to classify some grouse into new genera [1]. Frankyboy5 02:05, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
