This partridge appeared a few days ago and has taken a fancy to my dad. Standing on the deck, all he has to do is clap his hands and call it like a dog and it comes running!
They have begun a beautiful freindship.
I am a lurker, but thought you all would enjoy my Sunday morning here in Ontario :)
Also, has anyone ever experienced this before? We cannot believe how close up she gets and how friendly she is for a wild bird...
*** OH MY GOODNESS!***
Thank you, everyone, for all of the love <3 I wasn't even aware this post had done so well until my BF texted me to check my phone!
My Dad was super shocked and now he and my mom have begun to use Imgur!
As for the partridge... she was on our wreath, looking in the front door window this morning, I think she's decided we are her family now.
Updates soon!

Looks more like a grouse than a partridge.

Ya back when I lived in Ontario there was a rough grouse near my parents house that was in love with the 4x4 atv. Followed it everywhere

I’m sorry but it’s trying to seduce your dad and take over your house and throw you out with half of everything. It’s cute in the beginning.

Partridge are the most delicious of all wild fowl.

If only geese were so pleasant.

AH yes, geese, the bloodthirsty bringers of death of the bird world.

"friend, friend, friend, NO TOUCH, friend, friend, friend" - partridge probably

Pheasant who’d race your car. Toot your horn when you’d start up the driveway and he’d run out of the woods to race. So much fun

AND A PARTRIDGE IN A PEAR TREE!

It's not being friendly. They are highly territorial and fearless to boot. https://youtu.be/4vODoNtH2z8

The one in the video was chasing anything that moved ,regardless of size. They like to come up behind you and flap their wings against ya.

Hello my fellow Canadian(s)

The bird may have missed the opportunity to hybernate/migrate for the winter. Might be looking for some assistance.
eachit
Partridges don’t migrate and I believe there is only one bird that hibernates. Just a friendly bird!
TheGalacticLeprechaunwithtinynipples
They could feed it, though. Running needs a lot of energy - but I guess they already do

I had one perch on my arm while out dirt biking. She wouldn't leave me alone.

So damn tasty when cooked properly. The ones around where I grew up are extremely nervous because of this.

Step on the wings and pull on the feet.
thedarkcanuck
The ones around my parents place won't even move for a car in the driveway. They're not even scared of the dogs
Evern
Oh yeah. These ones back home are just extremely shy and flighty, northern hunters call them "evil southern grouse" because they always fly.

This is such a dad thing.

Your dad is a Disney princess! Congrats!

Notice how OP dances around the subject of OP's Father's tragic past. Clearly hiding something, Disney Princess sounds very likely.

It's the most reasonable explanation. No need for scientists to interject.

Eh, it looks like it's a good 2 feet tall, this man is perfectly safe.

Yea, bears can't really jump

But look how friendly the bear is!

Hard to tell here, but that grouse, not a partridge
phillycheez1669
Ruffed grouse are commonly called partridge

May be a grouse*

Not quite. But from south of the border, good day, eh!

The beer is in the pear tree. It doesn't replace the pear tree.

His dad's a pear tree! Congrats!

Rabies. Definitely rabies.

My first thought as well. @OP better read up on the symptoms it can take, cause losing the natural fear of potential predators is a symptom.
thebirdbiologist
Birds are not affected by rabies.
