The Hungarian or Gray Partridge is an introduced species here in Saskatchewan. Originally set free to amuse hunters.
I welcome these small round birds to my yard. They have been a source of much amusement. They move "as one" ... one does something and they all follow suit. Most enjoyable to watch! They possess a propensity for plopping down into any and all depressions in the snow and hunkering down for a spell.
Given that this has been a very looooooooooooooooooong winter with waaaaaaaaaaaay too much snow, they offer the miracle of life in such arduous conditions.
We started out the winter with 6 and amazingly, still have 6 coming every day to clean up what the birds spill onto the ground.
