Description
Vintage Gray Hungarian Partridge game bird taxidermy mount on oak base with driftwood and foliage.
The Gray Partridge is a portly game bird with a rusty face, tail, streaks down the sides, and a dark belly patch. It walks through agricultural fields and grasslands feasting on seeds. Small groups called coveys forage together year-round and explode into a scratchy, squawking flight when disturbed even at a considerable distance. Often called “Hungarian partridge” or just “Huns” by hunters, these birds were introduced to North America from Europe in the early 1900s.
Gray Partridge hens lay a lot of eggs. Females can lay up to 22 eggs—among the most of any bird species. Gray Partridges have short lives and high mortality rates. In a Montana study, for example, life expectancy was around 1.8 years for adults and the maximum age was 4 years.
