Are thay smart enough?

Can you put valley quail and blue scale quail and gamble all in the same flight pin and count on them to pair up with the right species?

No

Eggbert is right, they won't match up. You can still mix them if you want, they should be able to interbreed, they belong to the same genus. I'll attach a study, I didn't read the whole thing, but the offspring should be fertile.

Reading to study it appears all the hybrids were from forced mating. If i give them enough space for the females to have a say will thay not choose the right mate?

Or is it a case of the most aggressive bird gets all the spoils?
