Why does a quail have a plume on its head?
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.

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.
