The wild partridge, Alesetros barbara, is one of the four species of the genus Alesetros. It is a medium-sized round bird, between the size of a pheasant (curlew) and a quail. It has a gray-brown back, a gray chest, and a yellowish belly. Its face is light gray with a wide reddish-brown stripe. It has white sides with Red lines and red legs. When disturbed, it prefers to run rather than fly, but if necessary, it flies a short distance with rounded wings. The Barbary partridge, Alectoris barbara, is widespread, especially in North Africa, along the coast and mountainous areas from Egypt to Morocco, where it is found in various dense habitats from the lowlands to an altitude of about 3,300 meters. Its presence was recorded from northern Western Sahara and northern Mauritania in the east, through Morocco, northern Algeria, and Tunisia to northwestern Libya, and separately in northeastern Libya, in the region of Cyrenaica and the Western Mountain. And the Tibesti region in the far north of Chad, the Western Mountain and the southern border with Algeria. . This study aims to shed light on the wild partridge Alesetros barbara in Libya in terms of accurate morphological description and measurement of the local biometric lengths and weights of the local wild partridge and its comparison with international lengths and weights and they are fixed as fixed local statistical information. Light is also shed on the behavior of this bird and the plants it feeds on in all seasons
