Hey so from my previous threads i posted about hatching out buttons. well they are out now and i would say tamed? I have at least 3 that are somewhat imprinted, they will yell for me until i whistle back or put my hand in. the rest will follow in the yelling if someone starts it. I have them in the office so i am with them around 16 hours a day. well i brought them to the bedroom unintentionally last night and they watched me sleep as half of the house electricity died.
I will usuall answer to their yells by whistling (usually every 10 minutes) and I will 'peck' at their food and water while while whisting or doing the calling noises. They will all run to me when i whistle and will sometimes cuddle under my hand or go under and out from under my hand. Is there any way for me to keep them 'tamed' through to adulthood? I just don't want the quails to thrash around when i am cleaning the cage ect, having them take treats from me would be nice too. I have noticed when something scares them or something changes in their environment they will run to me and hide under my hand, of course i won't intentionally scare them. Any tips or experiences? this is day 1-3 for some of them.
