About the Rock Partridge
The rock partridge or common rock partridge (Alectoris graeca) is a gamebird in the pheasant family, Phasianidae, of the order Galliformes (gallinaceous birds). It is native to southern Europe, and is closely related and very similar to its eastern equivalent, the chukar partridge, A. chukar. It is a resident breeder in dry, open and often hilly country. It nests in a scantily lined ground scrape laying 5–21 eggs. The rock partridge takes a wide variety of seeds and some insect food.
