Maybe because the eggs are the same colour as the ground and then the bird connot see it?
They could be stepped on
The word is derived from a French word of Latin origin Perdrix, roughly Lost female, could apply to Miss Earhart, right.
Partridge eggs are typically speckled and colored in shades of brown and beige, which helps them blend in with their natural environment. This camouflage is a survival adaptation that protects them from predators by making it harder to spot the eggs among the soil, rocks, and vegetation. By matching the color of the ground, partridge eggs enhance their chances of survival during the vulnerable incubation period.
They are a type of game bird that nests on the ground. A variety of pheasant I believe.
Quails and partridges are are small, chunky game birds that spend most of their time foraging on the ground in small flocks called coveys. The color varies from species to species, but most are basically brown or gray with some streaking on the flanks. Check field guides for the species in your area.
sort of partriges sometimes gently bang their heads on the ground then they stay standing and lay their heads flat on the ground sooo I guess that they are having a headache... Who Knows Right
The cost of shipping would be about twice the cost of the actual bird. Live animals have very specific shipping requirements. You'd be much better off contacting a local pet bird rescue. Wait until January or February when all the idiots who bought partridges for Christmas, without doing research first dump them at animal shelters.Quails and partridges do make good pets for the right person. See if there is a companion bird club in your local area, and get in contact with someone who keeps quail or partridge as pets. Find out the space requirements, how to build a safe cage, what they need to eat to stay healthy. They mostly like to hang out on the ground and forage for food. Despite what it says in the Christmas song, they don't like trees very much. See if they fit with your lifestyle, your family, and your other pets.
