The Macqueen’s Bustard population extends from northeastAsia (Mongolia and China) across Central Asia, the Middle Eastand the Arabian Peninsula to reach the Sinai Desert. Afterbreeding in the spring in Central Asia, some Macqueen’sBustard groups migrate southward to spend the winter inwarmer regions (the Arabian Peninsula, Pakistan, and NWIndia). In early spring, they return to their breeding habitats inChina, Kazakhstan, Mongolia and other provinces. SomeMacqueen’s Bustards breed and are resident in the southernpart of their range, particularly in Saudi Arabia, the UnitedArab Emirates, Oman, Yemen and parts of Iran, parts ofPakistan and Turkmenistan (source of information:International Fund for Houbara Conservation, Abu Dhabi)

It is an iconicinhabitant of steppe and semi-desert in Central Asia and theMiddle East. A highly terrestrial bird, capable of going longperiods without taking flight, it is, nonetheless, a true long-distance migrant, with some individuals travelling more than7,500 km over the course of a single year.
