All I can think of is Quail Man from Doug. Buuuut then again I think about how old that show is and the fact that I might by dating myself

I've never seen a quail in my life. I don't think they're around where I live at all, though

Oh hehe oh yeah i remember him. >w<
And actually this ones the first quail i've seen in real life before. I've always heard people talk about quails but never saw one till the day i saw this little guy (or at least i think its a guy since it has pretty coloring) they sort of act like chickens and perfur to walk rather then fly.

I saw what I thought was a quail the other day... until it flew away. I thought they were flightless?

Well i didn' know till later either but apparently they can do a little flying, just short distances though, since they prefer to walk.

Yeah, this one didn't go very far until it landed... maybe it was a quail after all.

That's pretty much exactly what it looked like.
I remember seeing a small group of quails close to that place many years ago. It actually makes sense to see one in that area when I think about it.

Aww hehe that must have been cool to see, the one that comes by my house is alone not in a group for some reason..whenever it comes by its always alone.

The one I saw recently was alone at first as well. But then it flew from one place to another and I think I saw one more in that spot.
But that's curious... I wonder where it's family is?

I haven't the faintest clue. But that is a logical possibility.

well i was just considering other birds like song birds, and chickens. And i assume they would have a similar lifestyle to theirs.

They are the size og chicken chicks. I build myself a aviary for my birds this year and I thought about having king quails again. I also made myself a 3d model for the aviary you can also see the landscape for the quails on the floor. In the top there will live my zebra finches. ----> [link]

Oh wow that is pretty cool. I think the quails here are slightly bigger then a chicken chick. Anyways i bet you're birds love that.

Really? Well i guess that would depend if any live around where you live right? And they are a bit bigger then a song bird.

Lol really? X3 thats cool. I haven't heard this one crow yet, but i bet they sound interesting. And i didn't know they could fly either. o.o even though it might explain how i saw this one walking on the fence once.

Hehe yep in my yard. ^^ Though it probably likes visiting because like the rest of the birds out there its attracted to the bird feeder.
And yep it is pretty cute.

Hehe yeah they are adorable. But this is the first time i've ever seen one stick around near my yard. And theres no sign of other quails yet so i don't know if it has a family or anything yet.
