The topsides of these birds are brown, and they are white underneath with a black stripe that runs down each side of an elongated neck. Unlike other species of Bustard, the Houbara rarely makes sound. These birds feed mainly on insects and seeds. The numbers of Houbara Bustard are significantly reduced as they are also native to the Arabic countries of North Africa, and to Saudi Arabia and the UAE where their meat is thought to act as an aphrodisiac whichs has led to widespread hunting.
