Game Birds

Lives, Habitats & Pictures of the Game Birds

Upland game birds can be seen over the entire continent of North America. These birds' habitats take in the far North, tundra, mountains, forests, woodlots and prairies. Even some like the Gray Partridge, introduced from Europe, and once known as the "Hungarian Partridge" have learnt to adapt and survive in towns and cities.
Through the management of these birds and the reintroduction to areas where certain species once lived, game birds such as the Wild Turkey can be seen in the farm fields again.


Below is a list of each bird type and the number of species in each bird family that were once considered to be Game Birds or are still Game Birds, images of some of these birds can be seen further down;
