Chinese quail, also known as Coturnix chinensis, are small, ground-dwelling birds native to East Asia. They are characterized by their plump bodies, short tails, and distinctive plumage, which can vary in color but often features a mix of browns and whites. These quail are commonly raised for their eggs and meat, and they are popular in aviculture due to their relatively small size and ease of care. Additionally, they are known for their vocalizations and social behavior, making them interesting pets and study subjects.
