The scientific name for ruffed grouse is Bonasa umbellus.
There seem to be several scientific names for a quail depending on which exact species you are talking about. Here is a list of the ones I found. 1. This first one just gives the name "Quail" and gives this scientific name.
Scientific Name: Coturnix cotumix japonica (Related link 1) 2. Scaled Quail
Scientific Name: Callipepla squamata 3. Gambel's Quail
Scientific Name: Callipepla gambelii 4. California Quail
Scientific Name: Callipepla californica 5. Mountain Quail
Scientific Name: Oreortyxpictus 6. Northern Bobwhite (I am including this because in some areas this one is called a quail.)
Scientific Name: Colinus virginianus Reference material for numbers 2-6 above:

Groups of quails are called coveys. Coveys typically consist of a dozen or more quails and can be found foraging together for food or shelter.
A group of quails is called a covey. Members of a covey often forage for food together and seek protection in numbers from predators.
Foxes, Coyotes, Raccoons, Skunks, Ferrel Cats, and magpies and crows will eat their young and their eggs.
The Quail Springs mall is located in Oklahoma city. It is located near a Home depot. It is easy to get to right off the freeway and is fairly large and noticeable.
Use a broody bantam chicken to sit on them. Actually, peafowl farmers often use a broody hen to sit on peafowl eggs for the first seven days, then put them in an incubator for the remaining 21 days. This is done because there is something about the early development of the embryo that works better under a bird.
Most bird eggs only take 28 days to hatch. Give or take a day or two. Not all the eggs will hatch on the same day with most birds.
Here's my limited experience: Bobwhite quail hatched on 5/13/09. One egg was laid on 9/16/09. No other eggs to date. I have 5 males and 7 females housed together in a 3X5 raised pen. The pen is outdoors in Georgia. I had read that egg laying begins at 5-6 months, but one of mine obviously laid at 4 months. The shell was thin in some spots and thicker in other, which I'm told is typical for the first egg or two.
Every American county has what is known as a "County Extension Service," and inside that taxpayer-supported office (usually located on or near a state university), is a person known as the "County Extension Agent." This person is trained to deal with all kinds of aricultural and animal problems that might beset the resdients of the county.
Find your nearest County Agent and ask him/her any question you wish and you'll receive sound and expert advice. Their services are FREE, because you have already paid for them with your state taxes.
When you are trying to hatch Tennessee red quail eggs, it will take approximately 23 days. You should perform lock down on the egg at 20 days. This is a period of time when there should be no disturbances because hatching is likely to begin.
The grouse may build nests in the trees and are more adapted to them. They may even like the nut or things that grow on the tree.
They're endangered because they were living in Arizona in the grass lands and the grass lands then became dry and hot so most of them died but there is still some out there somewhere
a female red grouse is called a tyln.
a female sage grouse is called a sage hen. greyhen is a female black grouse
The quail was not the bird of Hephaestusl; it was a symbol of Artemis, Leto or Asteria.
