What are partridges predators?

Partridges face various predators, including Birds of Prey like hawks and owls, as well as mammals such as foxes, coyotes, and domestic cats. Ground-nesting species like partridges are particularly vulnerable to predators during the breeding season when they are tending to their young. Additionally, snakes and some larger birds may also pose threats to partridge eggs and chicks. Their primary defense mechanisms include camouflage and the ability to run quickly to escape danger.
