Partridge (Mountain Bamboo)


Mountain Bamboo Partridges of the Himalayas are small ground birds with a short black beak, short rounded wings, and a short tail.  They are approximately 14 inches tall.


When Mountain Bamboo Partridges are threatened, they prefer to run away.  If necessary, they fly with short, strong bursts, usually only for a few feet. They are rarely found far from water.  Their voice is a “loud ringing cackle” that repeats two notes over and over.
