thank you for the info with food. instead of oyster shell, would it be good to feed them grounded up quail egg shells? i don't want male, i want only females. i really, really don't want male. thank you for info for introduction of new bird. it is quite the other way around, the cockatiel may... -

i went and bought her food today, i was mistaken about closing time. nice old lady sold me, she said to mix it with corn flour [i figured that is how to call our malai] at 1:4 ratio. it has 30% protein content. the feed is for chicken but it is suitable for quail too. -

oh i am sorry, how silly of me to forget something so basic. it is a common quail. i'm from romania, it is in eastern europe. i am not very sure what game bird crumbles are, or what they should look like. if i try to translate that, it translates it literally, it is very silly. if you can show... -
is my new quail sick
it seems she may be sunbathing. she kicks her legs to the side, and ruffles shavings around her. then she stretches her legs and fluffs up. sun falls where she is. she also rummages through wood shaving. i guess she look for food, but when i try to give her lettuce from hand, she take a part off... -
