Help!
quail stressing himself to death! I just had this little guy for a few days now, neighbor dropped it off, poor thing, seemed stressed, but got used to the new home after awhile, hadn't learned to fly yet so I've been letting him free range in the yard and giving him parakeet feed, apple chunks, rice, millet, big eater, he seemed more friendly after a bit, got out of the yard a couple of times, no idea how but he never went far, got a little ruffled and upset after I picked him up and put him back in the yard. AND THEN he got his wings clipped.... poor fella, not happy at all, all fluffing himself up, making this weird noise he wasn't doing before, really stressed ran away at any sign of humans, wouldn't eat, what do i do
??? Is there a way I can minimize his stress,
or do I just leave him alone? What if he gets out of the yard again, he doesn't like being picked up or approached anymore...is it okay to clip a quail's wings?
need some help here
