The prairie chicken has no documented prey.

A yellowed educational wall chart printed with the title "Typical Food Chains (Northern Plains Region)" hangs from two black wooden dowels connected by a hanging wire, the paper aged to a warm tan tone with faint foxing at the lower corners. Three vertical columns are separated by ruled lines, each column containing four to five pencil-style illustrations with labels and parenthetical Latin names in italic type, including a metal bucket labeled "Prairie Washer (Metallicus eatus)," a rain trough labeled "Rain Trough (Collectus pluvia)," and a plate of what appear to be roasted poultry pieces labeled "Sunday Dinner (Festivus consumus)." A boxed note at the lower left reads "Please Note: It is important that each link in a food chain be respected. Removing one part can cause a chain reaction," and a circular institutional seal appears at the lower right beside the text "Northern Plains Educational Service, Chart No. 7-D."
