    Woot Woot, HOA Approval for Quail Habitat & Hatching!!!

    Looks like we'll be in the new home by Spring Break '25 as hoped. Looking at Stromberg's and McMurray for the hatching eggs, but not sure of the availability period. I'm thinking May-Aug or something like that. Was wondering if I can get 2 or 3 hatches out of a single season if the eggs are...

    After a failed hatch, I'm looking for a new bird that is sort of quieter than ducks. Are quail quieter in general?

    I'm in an HOA and it specifically states what animals are not allowed. I requested an exception for quail and listed the conservation pros and made it nearly impossible for them to deny. It worked. I have formal written approval. Here's my formal request...

    Woot Woot, HOA Approval for Quail Habitat & Hatching!!!

    Now that I've got HOA approval, I'm working on the Landscape Design for the quail habitat. I'm looking at a central "Quail Island" with several satellites scattered throughout the acreage with the hardwood, fruit orchard, and garden plantings. I already have an order with the Pitken Center of...

    Woot Woot, HOA Approval for Quail Habitat & Hatching!!!

    Step one in the bag. I received formal approval of my intended Gambel quail habitat and hatching effort today from the HOA. Here's the request for your reference should you need something like this. I structured this request with supporting information to make it very difficult for the HOA...

    Greetings from Northern Arizona!

    Thanks TwoCrows! That's exactly my plan. Establish the habitat as you so expertly described and then start hatching. I'm hoping to start in the spring of next year. Until then, I'm getting schooled up on the process. I've been fortunate to have feathered friends at some of our homes. Our...

    Greetings from Northern Arizona!

    I've recently relocated in retirement to Northern Arizona where Gambel's quail are native. I've also been based in the military in Northern California where California/Valley quail were native. Apropos for pilot to have fellow feathered friends who are also aviators. In this relocation, we are...
