Uruguay Perdiz Hunting
What is Perdiz Hunting? A Uruguay Upland Bird Hunt
The Perdiz is a South American bird that is not much larger than a bobwhite bird, but has a family connection to the ostrich. This becomes very apparent when you see the Perdiz rise from the ground like a rocket. The Uruguay perdiz is the color of a mallard hen and game bird hunters will hear the Perdiz being referred to as "partridge" due to its similarity to partridges, pheasants, and quail.
The perdiz game bird belongs to the tinamou family, with several species found anywhere from northern Mexico all the way to the southern tip of Argentina. The South American peridz finds its home in the southern part of South America. Argentina and Uruguay are the two main countries that have a good supply and excellent game bird hunting for the Perdiz.
