**5. Conclusions**

The comprehensive work for AP behavioral assays of Chukar partridge reared intensively was divided into flight initiation test, flight initiation distance, predator test for both avian and mammalian predators, novel object test, escape test, and flight angles. The behavioral assays showed that the Chukar partridge were having the instinct to be released in the wild for restocking and reintroduction purposes. The predators found in the areas have shaped the AP behavior of the birds. The predator tests in the noncontrived settings for the avian species showed that crouching and vigilant responses were the most abundant among the birds. However, the escape response was the highest against the mammalian predators. This study confirms the positive results of the AP tracings via exposure to natural predators in an uncontrolled environment.

For finding the flight initiation distance of Chukar partridge the frequencies of the observations were divided into 5 cohorts. I found a mean distance of 5.34 0.4, while the variance was 4.55. The minimum and maximum FID recorded were 1.6 m and 9.93 m, respectively. Most of the birds showed FID between 2 and 4 m (38.85%). The NOT on 291 subjects showed that alertness and gazing were the most frequently shown behavior. It was observed that the maximum number of birds did not escape from the module and remained immobile. During the flying escape of birds, the flight angles were also noted. The most common intensity of escape from the boxes was medium flight. The FI test showed that the maximum number of birds has high responses followed by medium and weak responses. Both weak and high FI responses showed more variance in the response.

The present study focused on the main issues of the management of the gamebird species in Pakistan, also making a contribution to the improvement of AP behavior primarily in the Chukar partridge reared intensively for both restocking and reintroduction purposes. This study can be replicated on Ring-necked pheasants, commonly reared for shooting. Future works should focus on the following recommendations.
