Asian Houbara Houbara bustards are large-bodied birds with long legs and a slender neck. The upper body is speckled, sandy brown and the underside is creamy white. The male has long, black feathers around the back of his neck, and white feathers on the front, lower neck. Wide bands of distinct black and white occur on the wings and the square tail is sandy-brown with four distinct black bars.


Arabian Bustard The Arabian Bustard (Ardeotis arabs) is a large, long-legged bird inhabiting arid environments across the Sahelo-Sudanese belt from Senegambia to Eritrea, with a small range extension on the Tihama plain on the south-western side of the Arabian Peninsula. Populations have declined drastically in Arabia. Currently, it seems probable that the only resident population on the Peninsula exists in Yemen. It is believed that the overall population is no more than 100 individuals, whose range does not exceed 1,000 km². The Arabian Bustard favours semi-arid and open grassy plains, arid bush country and savannah. In Yemen, the bird can also be found in cultivated areas. Birds in Yemen are known to seek cover in crops of sorghum and millet when the temperature peaks, indicating that cultivated crops provide some protection.
