Tibetan Partridge

This partridge breeds on the Tibetan plateau in Tibet itself, Northern Pakistan via Kashmir onto northwestern Indian, northern parts of Nepal, Sikkim and Bhutan, and western China.

The Tibetan Partridge is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.

Tibetan Partridge has a striking black and white face pattern, black breast barring and 16 tail feathers instead of the 18 of the other species. None of the species is threatened on a global scale, but the two more widespread partridges are over-hunted in parts of their range. The Grey Partridge has been badly affected by agricultural changes, and its range has contracted considerably. More
