A native of southern Eurasia, the Chukar was introduced into the United States from Pakistan to be a game bird. It lives in arid, rocky terrain across the western United States and southern Canada. The White Chukar is a mutation of the grey or wild type chukar.
The chukar can best be identified by the black band running across the forehead through the eyes, down the neck, and meeting as a gorget, between the white throat feathers and the upper breast. The lower breast and back are generally ash gray. Feathers on the flanks are gray at the base and have two black bands at the tip, giving the appearance of numerous black bars flanking the side. The bill, legs and feet of both the male and the female are orange red.
When kept as pets, they become semi tame, very curious and inquisitive and soon will learn to trust their keepers and with a bit of patience on your part, will soon learn to take treats (especially mealworms) right from your hands. Layers of a creamy, smaller than bantam sized egg, lightly speckled and thickly shelled.
