And also very cute if you take the time to look at them. ;)

I have heard they are hard to hunt, which is all the more ironic that they were walking right up to us in the reserve!

@ElKayeVideos they aint hard to hunt compared to quail, i go pheasant huntin pretty often and theyre the easiest then chukar then quail is the hardest cause they burst up in cuvees and scare the shit out of you.

@acousticprodege I've had quail do that just while birdwatching, so I know what you mean!!!

Hey I am very curious. How did you manage to film them? out of some kind of stand? They are very warry of humans.

I was very surprised how bold these birds were, but they've obviously become calm around people at this particular park, and they were foraging in the picnic area, so it's likely some visitors give them food (no one there at the time was eating anything). I was standing with my camera out in the open, as was my friend, standing very still, and they were coming this close to us! A few other people were there, too, watching them. :)

here in nevada chukar are ussually only located at the hardest to reach places (on the top of near vertical mountains) This hunting season should be great though, and im very excited to get my dog out on them!

one of these was hanging around my property for 2 days. I live in Mass. so I knew they weren't from around here.....I'm assuming a captive bred that escaped. It was really cool though

I love these birds! they are so cute, and this is great footage. you're very lucky to get the chance to have chukars come so close. I saw these in the Mojave Desert, and I got pretty close, but not like this.
