Partridge is a common poultry, but it is relatively low voice, unlike other poultry as "crowing". The best way to get a partridge to "squawk" is to put some food or something around it to get its attention. You can also attract them by playing a particular frequency of sound, such as their distinctive call.

The Chinese partridge is a bird of the order Galliformes, family Pheasantidae, genus Partridge. It is more playful-looking than the stonechicken, with a blackish-brown head, surrounded by a brownish-chestnut color, and a broad white band on the face beginning in front of the eyes and extending to the ears, above and below which a thick black rim is set. The body feathers, with the exception of the chin and throat, which are white, are dotted with a patch of oval-colored white spots, the upper ones being smaller and the lower ones slightly larger, the lower back and loins being covered with thin, narrow, wavy, white transverse patches; the tail feathers are black, with white transverse patches on them as well, and the contrast of colors is very striking. The iris is dark brown, the mouth black, and the legs and feet orange.
