Apr 15, 2008 #2 fancyfowl4ever Songster 11 Years Mar 17, 2008 1,283 29 181 Cranbrook, BC, Canada Partridge is brown and a cuckoo bird is blueish silver. Go to this page to see cuckoos- http://powderpuffsilkies.tripod.com/id11.html and here to see partridge - http://www.livingstonsilkies.com/id3.html both very different looking colours, there is no way to mistaken one for the other. I personally have bred partridges for years(I just LOVE that colour), but sadly due to a weasel having killed all my non-perching birds I have given up with silkies. Hope this helps, Anna Last edited: Apr 15, 2008
