Red Sea Cliff Swallow

The Red Sea Cliff Swallow is classified as Data Deficient (DD), inadequate information to make a direct, or indirect, assessment of its risk of extinction.

Sudanese Red Sea Cliff Swallow (Hirundo perdita) seen once in 1984 and the Orange-necked Partridge (Arborophila davidi) seen once in 1927. Other birds are known or believed to be extinct in the wild but still have some representatives living in captivity. A good example of this is the Spix's Macaw (Cyanopsitta spiscii) hunted to the brink of extinction to satisfy the foolish demands of the pet trade. More
