Gamebirds

 

  Chukar Partridge 

These attractive little birds are a real pleasure to have around.  They domesticate readily and do well in the wild as well.  They are about 2/3 the size of a pheasant with barred feathers on the sides, a bright orange beak, and a quickness about them that makes them special.  A real treat for either the table or farmstead.  They make a very peaceful sounding coo.  They are also a favorite to use in training dogs.
