Again it's Personal preference, I have quail on the ground in big cages, I have some in battery cages, I have yet to see any change in behavior. So even were on the ground and then placed in cages. Still no change. Most people do have the space to house quail in huge flight pens, that's why COTs were used for food. They are the best with as little of space possible.I can't help but wondering, do you really think that if you gave the quail the option between a small battery cage with a wire bottom and a larger flight pen with a dirt floor, hiding places and such, it would spend as much time in the wire bottom cage as in the flight pen? I have never had coturnix, but I am very convinced that even if food and water was only available in the battery cage, my buttons would spend just about every second of the day when they were not eating, in the flight pen.
Coturnix might have been bred in captivity for more than a thousand years, but they have evolved in freedom for much longer than that. You can't breed all instincts out of them just by placing them in an environment where they don't need them, for a few thousand generations. You can weaken them, sure. And the birds might be both happy and healthy in their battery cages. But unless you have given them the choice - which you might have, in which case my assumptions about the preferences of coturnix might be wrong - I don't think it's right to say they don't care..
When people stop giving me food I also will just ignore ha ha.Kinda like dogs, they associate her with food. If she stopped give them food, they would just ignore. That is a cool video though, but some of us just don't have the time to spend training quail. My birds are food, and egg layers, no attachments here...
Would you mind sharing the dimensions for this quail coop?
