It's a pretty sound belief that the turkeys kill partridge cchicks and eat the eggs. I know for certain that as the turkeys increased in this area, the Partridge began to disappear, to the point that now there are none. Turkeys don't seem to be bothered by urban sprawl. I live in the country, but the turkeys are even in the suburban areas. I saw a bunch digging up the median on the interstate the other day.
