I´ve never seen a live moose as I live in the UK. As I was reading Bryson´s chapter on moose and their stupidity on the roads, I was reminded of the many pheasant where I live. They wait at the side of the road and as soon as they see a car coming they jump in front of it!!! I think this is where the phrase "bird brain" may have been coined.
Up here we have spruce grouse. They are a lot like a pheasant. People call them "stupid chickens" because they will stay hidden until you are almost upon them and then fly out flapping like crazy. I think they are here to help out the animals and hunters that have been down on their luck.

While we are on the subject of various animal pets, can I tell you about the pig I had as a pet???  My dad was a farmer and used to keep pigs, and send them for slaughter  One of the pigs was ill and they would not take it, so we had to keep it. I used to look after it, and I called it Piggy (yes very novel!). It would follow me around and come when I called his name. I kept that pig for about a year until it had to go...............
