I posted up here that my male (living with 6 females) had nearly scalped one...

That bird ended up dying, despite separating her and treating the wounds.

I just came home to find another one dead today, also with severe injuries to the back of her head.

What to do???

It just figures that I had a potential buyer coming today too... (we're moving and need to sell the quail and coop).
