Appearance
Chukar Partridge has red eyes with crimson red eye shadows and shoulder-length ash brown hair, tied in a small ponytail. Her hair shifts in tone, with two smalls light brown spots under her wings, a black streak on the front that ends in two curved bangs at the side of her face, and a coral red bang that resembles a beak, with two smaller sand blonde bangs at the side. As other avian Friends, she has a pair of wings at the top of her head with a small patch of sandy brown hair with black streaks, and a light brown bird tail. She holds an orange pick on her right hand, and an orange gradient electric guitar that shows the Kemono Friends logo on the side, secured by a dark brown strap. She wears a beige undershirt, a wood brown single breasted jacket tied with sleeves that fade to light brown towards the tips, a black lace tie and a beige fur collar. Underneath, she wears a short cream circular skirt with black streaks, similar to the ones on her wings, coral red leggings and black loafers.

In Real Life
Also known as simply a 'chukar', the chukar partridge is native to the Middle East and sourthern Asia. However, they can also be found in the US after they were introduced to the country for the sakes of hunting. Despite this, they've established a thriving home in the more arid locales in western USA, and enjoy living amongst cliffs, mountains, and canyons.
Because of their love for drier regions, it can be tricky for the chukar to get food and drink. They get the majority of their food from seeds, berries, and leaves. During the summer they will also feast on the thriving insects that are around. During the winter, the chukar's diet consists almost exclusively of seeds.
Chukar males attract females by tilting their heads and circling the potential mate. Should the female accept, the pair may undergo practice feeding sessions for when they have chicks. When they do finally have offspring, the chukar nest will be situated on the ground, and will contain between 6-20 eggs. The female takes care of the eggs, but may divvy up half of the eggs for the male to take care of as well.
Unfortunately, the chukar's status as a game bird does mean it has a lot of predators. While in the egg, chukars can be victims to magpies, ravens, and snakes. When an adult, they can fall prey to cats, foxes, skunks, hawks, falcons, eagles, lions, and gray wolves. Of course, due to their nature of being introduced as a game bird, humans are always keen to hunt and eat wild chukar.
