Would not surprise me in the least - the area that the bird was found in is highly industrial and really lacks any sufficient habitat for bird life in general. Additionally, the Chukar did not flush when a wide variety of urban sounds (car engines rev, people yelling, etc) occurred, nor when several different people came near it unintentionally. Extremely tame.
Despite its' apparent domestication it was still a great bird to watch-
