We get these in the garden too, they tap on the patio window and drive my dog crackers. They make some bizarre noises, a bit like a chicken having an awful time and occasionally like a very loud rusty trampoline.
đ Sounds "like a very loud rusty trampoline"!
Do u suppose they peck at windows & glass doors because they can see what they think is another them?
TAP TAP TAP- "Hey pal, what whatcha doin' in there? C'mon, let's get out of here! There might be those really long-legged birds that are featherless on part of their body, but can change their feathers where they have them! They make such loud noises & they scare me! So, (TAP TAP, rusty trampoline noises) hurry! Quit mimicking me! Im trying to save your life & u are being rude!
AHHHH! Here comes that four-legged beast the tall birds keep in that strange, humongous nest!! That horrible thing tried to eat me once! TAP TAP TAP
Fine, bird brain! Suit yourself, but don't come flying to me if u get your wings bit off!" (More rusty trampoline noises getting fainter by the second)
That's not entirely true. Chukar partridge were shot in the uk until made illegal in 1993. Chukar partridges can still be occasionally found in the uk from escapees from farms, small holdings and exotic collections or illegally released for shooting on occasion.
That's bc the several non native ranges of chukar partridge is far less densely human populated than its native range. Also where its raised and shot for game in places like Europe a huge amount are raised and shot.
They are bred for shooting just like pheasant and grouse. Numbers in the lake District have skyrocketed in the last 5 or so years since farmers decided breeding birds to be shot is more lucrative than sheep farming. Should be illegal.
