Would not surprise me in the least - the area that the bird was found in is highly industrial and really lacks any sufficient habitat for bird life in general. Additionally, the Chukar did not flush when a wide variety of urban sounds (car engines rev, people yelling, etc) occurred, nor when several different people came near it unintentionally. Extremely tame.
Despite its' apparent domestication it was still a great bird to watch- Regards, Mark Minner-Lee Sent from my iPad > On Feb 24, 2014, at 10:36 AM, scott <[email protected]> wrote: > > Looking at Mark Minner-Lee's photos of the Chuker makes me think it is a > escaped bird.
