Grouse and Quail

Quails may peck as a form of defense if you handle them, but they don't go around looking for people to peck.

A black grouse is a large black bird with a lyre-shaped tail, Latin name Lyrurus tetrix.

Yes

Most likely these are quail eggs.

He is a lonely male calling for a female quail. The high-pitched calling will stop once he finds a mate. Best thing to do is to get him a female quail then he will be content.

Well, most quails are found on the pacific coast, but since I live in California, I mostly see California valley quails. Speaking of which, i wonder how the baby birds my friend found are doing...

you'll see what I'm talking about in the "how do you take care of abandoned quails" question.

How do i dry quail eggs

Grouse eat buds, leaves, and twigs. The hatchlings eat insects and other invertebrate.

If quails are gasping, they may be thirsty or calling quietly to their mates.

It varies a lot. If the humidity has been correct through incubation and the eggs hatching together were about the same age, the chicks should appear together. It can take just a few minutes to a few hours but more than 6 hours would be unusual.

You wet their head then brush

Almost all grouse, ptarmigan and capercaille species fit that criteria. Want to be more specific?

Yes, they can fly, but they prefer to run, some types more than others. California quail will only fly if threatened or to fly up to a spotting perch. Otherwise they run to brush cover.

there is no answer

wild bird feed(millet)

It depends on the weather and how they have been reared, but something like 6-8 weeks old for most species.

a Ruffed grouse is gray and brown

Yes. All birds are vertebrates.

I'm not sure what state you're hunting in, but in many states, the majority of pheasants are stocked into gamelands and parks just before hunting season, from farms, because their are so few left in the wild. Just recently, though, the wild populations have been growing, because of the restrictions on hunting females who lay eggs.

No, well not all of them. I'm pretty sure the Himalayan quail is extinct, though I'm not exactly sure. There was one thought to be extinct, but was seen again: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/5125244.stm

Assalama Alaykum. Quail has been mentioned in the Holy Qur'an in several places

and foods permisable not permissible. Also, Prophetic traditions explained the whole aspect of what's lawful & unlawful in nutshell:

1. That's all creatures that live under water is lawful.

2. All animals except Horses,Donkeys,Zebra,Pigs,those with fangs,sacrifices for other religion,died by itself,fell from cliff,eaten by other animals, other gods' names were invoked in slaughter and the strangled one.

3.All birds are lawful except those that survive with human faeces, bats etc......

This is in brief presentation and self explanatory.

The northern bobwhite gets its name from its call, usually rendered as "poor bob-white".

Quail don't have one!
