Bedtime

roosting claws)

Percy Strange fellow raised with my first flock,
I am sure he thinks he is a guinea and has a lot of the watchful
character of Guinea fowl probably learnt from them. He does strut around
like he is the leader.

 On the lookout
|
|
Partridges are normally ground
roosters they find some scrub or brambles and hole up for the night. But
not Percy! He roosts in the trees
with the guineas; though he is not designed to lock his claws onto
branches to roost he still manages somehow to roost up there with them. His
jambs his butt into the crux of the limb and trunk of the tree and
somehow stays there even in inclement weather and wind.
