True story. Yes I’m an idiot. I used to watch the partridge family, and the intro to the show was some groovy graphics (seventies) and a cartoon partridge (I thought) running around on screen. I assumed that’s what a partridge looked like with the little feather plume sticking up. It wasn’t until at least 20 years later, when out hiking with a friend, and I said “ Oh look at the Partridge!,” and he said no, that’s a quail.
