North African rock chicken scientific name Alectoris barbara, foreign name Barbary Partridge, sex like cluster. Action is very alert and careful, often run along the hillside or up the mountain in case of danger, never run down the mountain, running speed is extremely fast, but also good at hiding. Also fly when in danger, the two wings flap strongly, often make the sound of wings, but also more rapid.

They can also stretch out their wings to glide, especially when flying down and landing.

North African stone chickens feed mainly on plant matter such as leaves, roots, grasses and beans of herbs, buds and young leaves of shrubs, berries, seeds, mosses, lichens, or insects such as ants and grasshoppers, and often visit nearby agricultural fields to feed on grains or dig up roots and tubers in the soil.

The breeding period of the North African grouse is from April to mid-June. Estrus began in mid-to-late April, during which the day began to sing at dawn, and occasionally there was a fight between male chicks. Generally, the nest is in the scrub and grass at the rock pile or on the hillside, but also in the scrub and grass at the base of the hanging rock, under the SLATE on the side of the mountain, or between the mountain and the gully. The nest is very simple and very hidden, mainly a pit in the ground, which is filled with dead grass. Each clutch lays 7-17 eggs. Young birds have sex early and can follow their parents soon after hatching.
