    City Quails?

    The big issue for your neighbors is going to be flies. I am dealing with this right now and I live in the suburbs. It has been very labor intensive to keep the flies down in the warmer weather, even with frequent cleaning and poop removal and other things that were suggested as natural bug...

    Hmm I will have to keep and eye out and see if any more show up. The next door neighbors know I have quail and they thought it was one of mine. I was like, no, mine are not that pretty and they are all shut up in the coop.

    Oh okay I didn't know you could own them. I thought they were considered wild animals. Yeah he was definitely attracted by the ladies. ;-)

    I'm in AZ and they are illegal to own here. You are right it's a Gambels quail. It had the distinctive chest markings. I have seen them in the desert but never this deep in the city and suburbs.

    I finally captured a picture of him. I have all female Conturnix quails, and I live in the suburbs. In 15 years of living here, I have never seen a wild quail. And now I have seen this guy twice. I wonder where he lives and how he got so far into the surburbs?

    Histoplasmosis

    I'm sorry you are dealing with this. Remember to get a good mask, such as an N-95 quality one and make sure it's properly fitting.

    Post your parrot pics!

    When mine screams I walk over and throw the cover on her cage. When she talks nice I leave her uncovered and give her the attention she wants.

    URGENT

    Dark purple means lack of circulation, which means that tissue is dying and will soon rot and it will be an awful end. Please either put it down or take it to a vet.

    Cleaner waterer for coturnix?

    Like this picture but on smaller bricks since they are shorter birds.

    Cleaner waterer for coturnix?

    My quail only get a water change once a day and it stays clean. I use a standard chicken waterer and put it on bricks. It stays above their rear ends so poop never gets in the water. I tried nipples and they loved it so much they were emptying those things out in like 15 minutes, just for the...

    Do Quail eat Flies?

    I have seen my quail try to catch flies, but the flies are faster. :-) They did enjoy the ants from the ant-infested dog dish that I put in the coop for them to clean off.

    One of mine is in my avatar. :-) I have two African grey parrots (one timneh, one congo) and two cockatiels.

    whats going on and how can I treat it?

    Great! I had a similar experience with my quail on wire. TwoCrows talked me through it and my quail are pretty happy now.
