The grey partridge, also known as the Hungarian partridge, is a bird species that is native to Europe and Asia. Synonyms for the grey partridge include the English partridge, the field partridge, the gray partridge, and the karmoshka. These birds are known for their distinctive plumage, which is predominantly grey and brown, and their round shape. They are commonly hunted for sport and for their meat, which is considered a delicacy in some regions. Despite their popularity as a game bird, populations of grey partridges have declined in recent years due to habitat loss and hunting pressure. Conservation efforts are underway to protect these birds and their habitats.
