Grouse and Quail

Caring for a baby quail can prove to be kind of difficult. The reason for this is because the won't always take food from you. You can feed them liquid from a syringe. Make sure you keep them warm.

vertebrate it has a spine.

Quail need

water

food

and a light so the hens may lay 2 eggs in 24 hours

and a light so the quail can eat and drink all night long

gray-colored and black plume on top of its head and black bib with white stripe under the beak.

It has been the state bird in California since 1931. It has many different names such as the California Partridge, Catalina Quail, Topknot Quail, and Valley Quail. It can be found in Baja California, Mexico, and up through the western states in Canada. Its eastward range goes to Nevada, Utah, and Idaho. It is rarely seen in Colorado.

hi i just got a quail and its with our other birds budgies they are in a big cage i put a nest down and budgie food and water do they like vegies scraps and bread scrapers or what other things do they eat can you help me thank you Marcella

Quails must eat a least once a day , morning if prefer ...

they like also grass and worms for hubbit ...

In their natural habitat, smaller varieties of the quoll live for about 2 years. Larger quolls live for 4-5 years, and in captivity, the spotted tailed quoll has been known to live for six years.

No, the parents teach their babies to forage and they stay together. Quail live in large groups together and then break apart in family groups to forage. So, there isn't quite the kicking-out-of-the-nest moment like with some birds. For ten years generation after generation of quail have lived in my yard. So, some of the babies never leave.

no it's impossible eagles usually land of rocks and mountains not on the ground and unless your high or loony coyote's don't fly.... :( ......:)

Fed and housed correctly, 5 years would be very common, 10 years would be not unusual and 15 years plus should be a reasonable expectation. Using them as (egg) laying machines will drastically shorten their lives.

As in most bird species, the male is more brightly colored, while the female is drab, nesting security. A male chuckar will have a black mask if he is mature.

its a herbivore

A male's topknot or plume of feathers is a bit larger. Besides helping them identify each other as male or female from the distance, I have quail that live in my yard and I've noticed the lookout always stands up taller when looking around, or perhaps perches on a bush or fence to keep an eye out from above. That tiny plume bobs around and I wouldn't be surprised if the other quail notice that to keep an eye on him for tips on their safety. When startled they act in unison, so they surely are always watching each other for tips on possible predators.

About 10 grams compared to a chicken egg of about 60 grams. <img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9a/Coturnix_coturnix_eggs.jpg/300px-Coturnix_coturnix_eggs.jpg"/>

No, peacocks can fly.

Pigeons belong to one of the four main branches of animals - birds. And as we all know, birds are somewhat similar to mammals as they are able to carry out homeostasis and can regulate many factors in their body, including water potential of the blood, pH value of the blood and of course body temperature. This therefore shows that pigeons are warm-blooded.

The sheep is the answer. As it is said a flock of sheep.

it depends on what fruit you want to give them. For example apple, a little bit wont hurt but not too much or they might get a sore tummy, DO NOT FEED THEM THE PIPS! i also know that cucumber is OK, (mine will do anything for the stuff!) so here is a list of fruits i give my quails

apple

cucumber

grapes

fig (of the tree and straight to them)

broccoli (yes its not a fruit but they love the stuff)

lettuce (same as broccoli)

hope this helps :)

37.5C, but just as important is the RH, which needs to be around 50%, give or take not much.

Considering all species - nothing consistent. As European man travelled the world, discovering new birds, he named different birds quail and partridge with no knowledge of what they really were. Stone partridge from Africa are smaller than a California quail, Grey/Hungarian partridge are actually pheasants, N American quail are nothing like as related to AAsian quail as are African Francolin. As with so many birds, common names are very useful but meaningless in terms of what the bird is in evolutionary/systematic terms.

A young quail is called a cheeper or chick.

the California Valley Quail is the state bird because it has independent
