Thread: What is this?

My father fly his falcons on them. They are quite cunning and know how to escape a bird of prey attack.
Their main predators are the cats and bird of preys, specialy on the young ones.

They let some chuks go in the kawekas and central north island
Any still getting around?

They had a big push round here (south canty) to get red legs established but
They just didn't take. Shoulda pushed a bunch out after a big 1080
Drop give them a head start .

Don't know about the chukars in the Kawekas, but my father told me about the Acclimatization guys liberating the Brown Quail in the high country near the Kawekas...he told them that the birds would not be suited for that country; they scoffed and he being the humble man he was never said 'told you so' when the covey fizzled out...
