Philby's partridge

Philby's partridge (Alectoris philbyi) is a bird species belonging to the Phasianidae family. It is a relatively small partridge, with a length of approximately 29-34 cm and a weight of 390-580 g. The species was named after the British explorer and Arabist, St. John Philby, who discovered and collected the first specimens of this bird in the mountains of Saudi Arabia in the 1930s.

Philby's partridge is endemic to the Arabian Peninsula, with a distribution range that includes parts of Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and Oman. The species inhabits arid and rocky mountainous areas, typically at elevations between 1000-2500 m.

The diet of Philby's partridge consists of seeds, berries, and insects. Breeding typically occurs between March and June, with females laying 8-12 eggs in a shallow ground nest. The eggs hatch after approximately 23 days of incubation.

The population of Philby's partridge is currently considered to be stable, with no major threats to the species identified. However, the species is not very well studied, and more research is needed to determine its exact distribution range, population size, and conservation status.
