Quail Birds

Quail birds are a popular choice for those interested in small farm birds. Before adopting, consider that quails are social and require proper space, with each type having unique characteristics. Japanese Quail and Bobwhite Quail are common choices due to their size and adaptability. Coturnix Quails are calm, while Button Quails are smaller and need gentler handling, making them unique yet demanding companions.
Quails have specific needs, including soft bedding and an enclosure safe from predators. They are ground-dwellers, so a well-covered aviary with ample ground space works best. While Coturnix and Button Quails adapt well to farms, they still need regular care and consistent cleaning. Most quail breeds have similar needs, but some types like Bobwhites prefer larger outdoor spaces, adding a little variety in care.
Keeping quails requires patience as they are not as tame as other farm birds. They can be shy and cautious around people, especially in new environments. However, with gentle handling, they adapt well and can even recognize their caregivers. Regular interaction helps build trust, but it’s important to maintain a calm, stable environment to avoid stress.
