1. rock partridge

   The rock partridge is a game bird in the pheasant family, scientifically known as Alectoris graeca. It is native to parts of southeastern Europe and the Middle East. It generally inhabits mountainous regions, rocky, steep slopes, and scrubby areas, favoring altitudinal zones from sea level up to 2,500 meters. It feeds mainly on plant material including grass, leaves, berries, and seeds, but may also consume small insects and other invertebrates. The rock partridge is recognized for its distinctive plumage, primarily in shades of gray and brown, with white throats and underparts. Males and females look very similar. The species' population has been declining due to factors like habitat loss, hunting, and climate change.

1. Rock Partridge

   The Rock Partridge is a gamebird in the pheasant family Phasianidae of the order Galliformes, gallinaceous birds. This partridge has its main range in southwestern Asia and southeastern Europe, and is closely related and very similar to its eastern equivalent, the Chukar Partridge, A. chukar. This is a resident breeder in dry, open and often hilly country. It nests in a scantily lined ground scrape laying 5-21 eggs. The Rock Partridge takes a wide variety of seeds and some insect food. The Rock Partridge is a rotund bird, with a light brown back, grey breast and buff belly. The face is white with a black gorget. It has rufous-streaked flanks and red legs. When disturbed, it prefers to run rather than fly, but if necessary it flies a short distance on rounded wings. It is very similar to the Chukar Partridge, but is greyer on the back and has a white, not yellowish foreneck. The sharply defined gorget distinguishes this species from Red-legged Partridge. The song is a noisy ga-ga-ga-ga-chakera- chakera- chakera. This species is declining in parts of its range due to habitat loss and over-hunting. While it generally manages to hold its own, the status of the Sicilian population may be more precarious and certainly deserves attention.
