Talk:African houbara

Mix-up

There was a mix-up here. Macqueen's Bustard is the form in Asia (East of Sinai). The North African and Canary form are included in what continues to be called Houbara Bustard. I have made changes in the account.

They are found in Pakistan as well

I don't know of their current status, but I certainly have heard of their existence in the country. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Slides2008 (talk • contribs) 07:58, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Reference [1] does not appear in the text. Maybe it should be in the first section.

I added a remark about a diplomatic dispute between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan over hunting rights, but it doesn't really fit the section I put it in.

Asiatic houbara

"In 2014, a Saudi prince created an international uproar after shooting more than 2,000 houbaras while only having a permit to kill 100." There is no Chlamydotis undulata in Pakistan Hunu (talk) 14:52, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

Canary Islands reference

Consider changing the sentence that mentions the "European population" to be restricted to the Canary Islands: 1- the islands are geographically in North Africa 2- this suggests there was a European population of Houbara Bustards, the remnants of which are in the Canaries. Not sure that's correct. TrivialPursweet (talk) 19:26, 25 December 2022 (UTC)
