Barbary PartridgesBarbary Partridge, Alectoris barbara , has its main native range in north Africa and the Canary Islands. It has been introduced to Madeira, though there are no recent records of this species. It is closely related and similar to its western European equivalent, the Red-legged Partridge (Alectoris rufa). Breeding / Nesting: This bird is a resident breeder in dry, open and often hilly country. It nests in a scantily lined ground scrape laying 10-16 eggs. More

the genus, Barbary Partridge are much more colorful upon closer observation. The face is light gray, surrounded by a chestnut band that is flecked with white. The breast is more buff than other Alectoris species, while the shoulders and back are the same bluish-gray. The sexes are alike, with male being slightly larger and may have small spurs on the red legs. Breeding I have found that this species does best when kept pairs, as one will become very dominant over the other. More
