the grey partridge is a medium-sized gray and brown partridge native to europe. the grey partridge has been introduced throughout much of the world, with large established populations in north america. adult grey partridges feed off of buds, vegetation, seeds, and berries, not typically feeding on bugs; however, during their first ten days of life the young partridges can only digest insects. partridges live in small flocks called coveys, feeding together on the ground.

People who like rocks see cool rocks everywhere. People who like birds see interesting birds everywhere. The tree on your yard could be an exceptional specimen. The world around you could be amazing and magical, but you aren’t enough of a nerd to see it.

I gave my mum Alexandra Horowitz’s On Looking: Eleven Walks Through Expert Eyes for her birthday this year, it’s a book that revolves around this idea: the author invites 11 specialists in different things to walk around a boring city block with her one after the other so they can point out to her the things they see, that she doesn’t notice. There’s an expert in typography talking about what the variety of fonts on urban signs can tell you about the city’s history, an entomologist pointing out all the urban insects no one pays attention to, a geologist, a sound engineer…

Can I request photos of your favorite pigeon breeds and colors?(If you have any specific ones) Also, maybe some of the more uncommon and lesser known breeds if possible too, if you can think of any? Sincerely, a follower who cannot get enough of one of their favorite birds.;_;

hmm…i admittedly know more about species than breeds. some of my favorites are:

archangel

love the metallic sheen of the feathers!! my favorite colors are black-winged copper and full black

barb

any color…i love their funky eye rings, they look like the centers of daffodils. i don’t necessarily encourage their breeding, much like pugs, but they’re lovely nonetheless.
