It is, of course a partridge (wasn't there some tv-serial named "The Partridge Family" in the 60s or 70s? I think I vaguely recall either talk about them or actually having seen them; but I must have been very young should I actually have seen them, because I can't remember anything specific about them; the only thing I recall is the name. If they are from the 60s I definitely have not seen them).

ahhh the Partridge Family - I loved that show when I was a small boy (which was before I became a small adolescent and small man). Danny Bonaducci was such a pain as the drumming kid and David Cassidy was a complete nonce but Susan Dey!!! Oh, Susan Dey, her I could have watched doing dishes. Pre-teen fantasies come true.
Then I moved on to Joanna Lumley in the New Avengers - much more feisty - grrrrr!
