Hi fellow quail lovers,
I had been taking care of my sweet baby Kiwi; she was an abandoned Gambles quail ( we have them all over our neighborhood) and then she passed away about 8 days old. I was thinking I would get some buttons or Coturnix. This is my question,I hear Coturnix are smelly, so...
I had one bird rehab lady call me back and she told me to keep her. Which I would’ve loved to but I don’t have the room for Gambel ; I then found a big farm I was supposed to take her to today; but sadly she died yesterday. I don’t know what happened because she seemed to be thriving! Almost...

Long story coming up; Our neighborhood has a lot of Gamble’s quail and during 4th of July we believe that the parents abandoned their nest right in my neighborhood. A couple of the babies were dead; not sure what happened to them and then there were a couple that were alive. The...
