Cot quail eye plucked out... Help!

If he is this scared, I wouldn't put any bird in with him. And what can happen is when you put him back in with the flock, and he is scared like this, they can attack him. They will know he is not fit for the flock. I think this bird may need to be on his own for the rest of his days.

If this were my bird, I would let him adjust by himself for a couple weeks, learning to get around with one eye. Then I would take my most easy going female, like the one you tried putting in with him and keep her with him. After he is comfortable with his disability, he will probably welcome a friend. But I would only keep just one with him.
 
Alright I guess I'll have to try that in a week or two once he gets used to not having an eye and once it heals. Thanks for all the help! I appreciate it greatly.
 
So, after about 3 weeks I'm glad to say the quail is doing great! I put him into the aviary a week ago and he loves it. I didn't put any females in there with him because I will have a bad female to male ratio as 2 females have died for some reason. Anyways, just wanted to tell you guys he is doing great and I really do appreciate all the help I have gotten. Thanks!
 
Yay!!!

That is great news! Birds have an incredible ability to heal if given the chance.

Thanks for the update!
