Free-living grey partridge males devoted most of their time to surveillance during both the prehatching (egg laying and incubation) and post-hatching periods while their mates (and chicks) foraged. In a discrimination experiment designed to distinguish mate selection based on morphological characters from that based on behavioural characters, this vigilance behaviour of the male was the only investigated character that proved to be of importance in the selection of a mate by female partridges.
