HUNGARIAN PARTRIDGES IN THEIR SANDBOX
Our Hungarian Partridges are from the highest quality eggs as possible.
We get them started on a wire bottom pen to prevent any illnesses they can acquire through the bottom of their feet. Both Chukar and Hungarian Partridges can be susceptible to disease this way. Being on wire helps keep them cleaner and dryer. Then we get them outside as soon as possible so they will be ready for release when you pick them up.

AT INDIAN LAKE GAME BIRDS (WINTHROP MN) WE SPECIALIZE IN JUVENILE HUNGARIAN PARTRIDGE FOR RELEASE / RESTORATION. Part of our mission is for private land owners to have Huns back on their land where they once were.
Gray Partridges use agricultural fields with hedgerows and grasslands year-round. In the winter when snow cover is heavy, they also forage in adjacent wooded areas.
Gray Partridges primarily eat seeds and greens that they pick from the ground. Their diet includes seeds from wheat, barley, oats, corn, sunflower, foxtail, ragweed, and Russian thistle. Young partridges eat insects during the first few weeks after hatching. Adults also take insects during the summer.
Groups or coveys made up of adults and their offspring walk or run through fields and grasslands searching for seeds. They forage more frequently at dawn and dusk and rest in open cover or in crop stubble during the day. Gray Partridges are rather skittish birds, bursting into flight even when the disturbance is 60 feet away, unlike many other game birds that don’t flush until they are underfoot. When disturbed they explode into flight with rapid wingbeats, flying short distances, low to the ground. Gray Partridges are tolerant of their covey mates, but males may ruffle their neck feathers, stick out their breast, and flick their tail if a member of a different covey comes near, especially if they come too close to their mate. Gray Partridges form monogamous bonds typically with a member of a different covey. When coveys come together during courtship, males and females are more aggressive and may fight or chase other birds. Once pairs form, the female initiates courtship by bowing to the male with up-and-down head movements and by rubbing her neck against his. Gray Partridges have short lifespans and are frequently eaten by skunks, raccoons, foxes, Great Horned Owls, Red-tailed Hawks, Prairie Falcons, Northern Harriers, and domestic cats and dogs.
