        Haha! I can imagine, and I cannot blame the birds, they are hunted so much in the Mediterranean that they have developed extra antennae to detect people! Posted 5 years ago

The Chukar partridge

The chukar partridge, or simply chukar/Chakor, is a Palearctic upland gamebird in the pheasant family Phasianidae. It has been considered to form a superspecies complex along with the rock partridge, Philby's partridge and Przevalski's partridge and treated in the past as conspecific particularly with the first.
