     Subspecies
    They are native to Europe, Asia, North Africa, and the Middle East, but several species have been introduced elsewhere, as game birds. The gray partridge of Europe, Perdix perdix, is one of the two species successfully introduced into North America; known to hunters as the Hungarian partridge, . The other species is the chukar, Alectoris chukar; native to southern Eurasia, it is now common on rocky or grassy mountain slopes and semidesert areas of western North America and in some of the Hawaiian Islands. It 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. It thrives especially in the grainfields of the prairies. Live monogam.

Plump bodies, short tails, and short beaks adapted for picking up seeds. They have rounded wings and robust breast muscles that power their explosive takeoffs to escape predators. They prefer to run, and fly only short distances. Their habitats vary from rocky mountain slopes to forest floors; a few perch in trees.
