Lovely snaps.
Your Chukars look a lot like a game bird found along the Himalayas. Pronounced as "Chaakore".
Were these birds taken from India by any chance?

Distribution and habitat

This partridge has its native range in Asia, from Israel and Turkey through Afghanistan to India, along the inner ranges of the Western Himalayas to Nepal. Further west in southeastern Europe it is replaced by the Red-legged Partridge, Alectoris rufa. It barely ranges into Africa on the Sinai Peninsula. The habitat in the native range is rocky open hillsides with grass or scattered scrub or cultivation. In Israel and Jordan it is found at low altitudes, starting at 400 metres below sea level in the Dead Sea area, whereas in the more eastern areas it is mainly found at an altitude of 2000 to 4000 m except in Pakistan, where it occurs at 600m.[2][7] They are not found in areas of high humidity or rainfall.[8]
It has been introduced widely as a game bird, and feral populations have become established in the United States Rocky Mountains, Great Basin, high desert areas of California, Canada, New Zealand and Hawaii. Initial introductions into the US were from the nominate populations collected from Afghanistan and Nepal.[9] It has also been introduced to New South Wales in Australia but breeding populations have not persisted and are probably extinct.[10] A small population exists on Robben Island in South Africa since it was introduced there in 1964.

Thanks Haji... I'll pass on the compliments to dad!!

Yes it is... Love my 870.

The AR style gun is a Mossberg Tactical (715T). It's a .22 that dad and I love to plink with. I recently put a scope on it, so we were just zeroing it in. I'm falling in love with it too... didn't think I would say that for any .22 Not only coz it looks and handles great, but it shoots deadly accurate. It was awesome shooting at beer cans about 75 yards away!!

Cheers,
Amit
