Partridges are native to Europe, Asia, North Africa, and the Middle East, but several species have been introduced elsewhere as game birds.
The European gray partridge, called the Hungarian Partridge has been successfully introduced into North America where it thrives well in the MidWest grainfields. The other species is the chukar which thrives along with the Hungarian partridge. The chukar partridge is pale brownish gray, with bold black and white stripes on the flanks, a white throat bordered in black, and bright red bill and feet.

Scientific Classification:
Partridges belong to the family Phasianidae of the order Galliformes. The gray partridge of Europe is classified as Perdix perdix, the chukar as Alectoris chukar, and the red-legged partridge as Alectoris rufa
