Not all nuisance control people are non-lethal so I'd make sure this person knows exactly what the plans are for this bird. They can also just hold tight and it will stop.,,likely the best option for the grouse as it would have a territory there, knows where the good food spots are etc. I am not a fan of relocating as studies have been done with relocated animals and they often die for a multitude of reasons. It's especially hard on mammals.
