Thank you Jumbo Birdman :)

Eat a couple of quail and everyone loses their minds!!!

Absolutely.

A tribute to my two quail lost due to a vicious predator attack and homage to my favorite TV show... Heisenbird- he had to be put down due to injuries from a predator attack :( Schraderbird- Missing, presumed dead :(

I've gotten green ones like this, solid green, purple halfway and purple fully.

Ok, I culled the little guy :( He didn't want to go. I wrapped him up with a towel and was able to do it that way. I feel awful that I waited so long.

How can I do it without causing it even more pain? I was going to but I couldn't get a hold of him and he was struggling.

Worst quail keeper ever here again with another emergency. This is a bad one. Predator attack. Raccoon or fox I think. One bird missing, presumed dead. The other severely injured. I think half his wing is ripped off. Skin above his butt either has a chunk bitten or the feathers were pulled so...

Oh that's a good idea to clip her wing!

Such an epic fail today on my end. I was trying to gently move her to clean her cage and she flew out of my hands all the way across the room. When I put her back in, her wing was drooping more than before and she was panting. I suck at keeping quail :(

I actually was wondering the same thing myself. Her neck seems healed but the wing still is drooping.

Thanks for the tip- I put in my most docile girl named "mama" with her and now she's not crying anymore. Although Mama keeps looking at me funny :)

She's really mad about being confined for so long even though I got her a nice indoor cage that is much bigger than the cat carrier I was keeping her in (that's what I had been using for hurt birds). She keeps calling for her other birds. She seems stressed. Her wing is still drooping but I'm...

Ok so something is wrong with her wing too. I hope I didn't cause this trying to clean her neck. But there was a tuft of feathers looking like they were going in the opposite direction. Well at closer look, the skin is ripped off her back. It looks awful. What can I do for the poor girl?
