An Attwater's prairie chicken's dating life depends on dancing. 🕺 Fossil Rim Wildlife Center has between 20-24 breeding pairs each year. Adults are housed in pens where birds are encouraged to see their neighbors. Starting in late January through May, male APC will perform their breeding displays for the females. Typically, in the wild, males will gather early in the morning in large groups called leks. In captivity, our males are able to see and hear their neighbors to simulate this environmen

Fun fact: They aren’t chickens at all. They’re grouse! 🐔 Before each release season, every adult Attwater’s prairie chicken receives a physical exam from our veterinary staff to ensure they’re healthy and ready for the high-energy months ahead. After exams, the birds are carefully paired for breeding. Each pair, one male and one female, is chosen based on genetics using a “mean kinship value” to help maintain a healthy population. These recommendations come from the Studbook Keeper at the Houst

The Attwater's Prairie Chicken (APC) is a grouse species native to Texas that is critically endangered due largely to habitat loss of the native coastal prairie in the early 1900s. Knowing these birds are a strong indicator of the health of the prairie biome in Texas, Houston Zoo joined the recovery effort for the Attwater’s Prairie Chicken (APC) in 1994, using Zoo grounds to breed and raise chicks by hand. In 2005, Houston Zoo forged a partnership with NASA, who offered natural prairie on their

The Attwater’s prairie chicken courtship dance is called “booming.” 🤯 💥 Here, let’s break down the steps of this endangered dance. The male stretches his neck forward parallel to the ground with neck tufts pointing forward like horns. The tail is held vertically and the wings are extended downward and held firmly against the body and legs. A short run forward is followed by vigorous stamping of the feet which lasts for only a few moments, but which under favorable conditions is distinctly audi
