Dutchess NY: Chukar Partridge inside the dense bushes in Cary Institute on Sunday 10/19/2025. Not sure if it was the same one I saw that ran across the path. Too deep to see much inside. #chukarpartridge #chukar #pheasants #birds #birdwatching

Manu Minute: The chuckling chukar We’ve got another game bird for you on this week’s Manu Minute — the chukar partridge!

#Chukar (pronounced like trucker) were introduced to Hawaiʻi in the 1920s. Their native habitat extends across Asia & parts of Eastern Europe, where they prefer rocky open hillsides.

Chukar are partial to the higher elevation dry ranges of Maui & Hawaiʻi Island. Found across all of Hawaiʻi. #birds

Chukar partridge against a blue sky

Chukar partridge on edge of barn against a blue sky. This stray non-indigenous bird spent about a month with us one winter. We put out some corn for her and if we called “Lucy, Lucy, bird bird bird” she would run toward us. #Birds #Chukar
