Partridges

December 22, 2021

This week we’re talking about an animal that’s probably only known because they pop up in a well known song, but they are much more than a song lyric. These animals are small birds and they’re a little unusual because they spend most of their time on the ground instead of in the air. So, get your bird watching gear ready, because we’re going to be talking about partridges.

“Partridges usually like to be on the ground, so they’re not often hanging out in pear trees.”
