Encyclopedic overview
The Barbary falcon (Falco peregrinus pelegrinoides) is a non-migratory subspecies of the peregrine falcon found from the Canary Islands eastwards across some parts of North Africa to the Middle East. It was formerly often treated as a distinct species Falco pelegrinoides; when so treated, it also included the central Asian peregrine falcon subspecies Falco peregrinus babylonicus as a subspecies (Falco pelegrinoides babylonicus).
