Partridge
Thank you been in my garden on and off for a few days don't think it can fly or not sure where it came from . Hope it will be OK.
Red legged partridge, and they are not the brightest. Had one here a few years ago. It had a cat running after it, a few feet behind. At no point did the RLP take off! It kept running ahead of the cat. I am confident yours has no issue with flying and is just choosing not to. (outside chance it can't but law of averages, very small chance!)
Thats OK don't know much about birds so wanted to check it would be OK. Thabk you
Also...
