Perdiz Crestada Courses

Perdiz Crestada, also known as the crested partridge, is a species of game bird native to South America. It is a member of the Numididae family, and a relative of the Helmeted Guineafowl. The Perdiz Crestada is a spectacular sight in its native habitat. It has a striking crest of metallic purple feathers that adorn its head, while its body is mottled brown with white spotting. This bird is well known to sportsmen as it is a popular game bird in both Uruguay and Argentina. The Crested Partridge tends to favor open grasslands and savannahs, although they can often be found in bushy areas. They feed on a wide variety of seeds, grains, insects, and grasses. During the mating season they form small family groups that gather their resources and protect the young. The Crested Partridge is hunted primarily via the classic "driven hunt" technique, where a line of beaters works through the grassland or savannah, driving the birds forward into the waiting line of shooters. The Crested Partridge is a challenging bird to hunt, as it often stops suddenly and takes flight. It is a fast flyer, and it requires a practiced eye and a steady hand to take it down. The Crested Partridge is a beautiful and elusive creature, making it highly sought-after by sportsmen. Enjoying great popularity in its native lands, it is valued both as a game bird and as a symbol of nature's complexity and beauty.
