ClayShooter101 Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) Bird Identity's French Partridge This bird is sometimes know as the red legged partridge and is distinguished between Grey and English by its buff belly grey breast and its streaked red legs and feet. This bird, if provoked will prefer to run rather than fly but will most times fly using its rounded wings.

Essex Keeper Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 French partridges are called that because of the red legs being the same colour of French soldiers socks in a war in the 1800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleeh Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) Yeah, as someone said it's a Chukar which are similar, but larger than French Partridge.I remember someone telling me you had to be careful where you bought your imported eggs as sometimes they'd slip in Chukar/hybrid eggs. They are better layers than French, but as a sporting bird and generally worse. (Apparently) Edited February 6, 2016 by Bleeh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Always took perdix as French for partridge regardless of type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
