As I haven't been able to find it locally, I have had to order Purina Gamebird Startena for my pet quail via eBay. The latest order arrived with a LOT of "powder" in it. In other words, a lot of it is NOT in the little chunks that my adult quail can eat, but has been pulverized to powder...

My quail is an indoor pet, and he likes to investigate "everything". On a few occasions, when there has been some paper or Kleenex tissue lying around, he has gone after that to peck at it, and before I could remove it he has peeled off a little bit and swallowed it. So far, he doesn't seem to...

My young Gambel's Quail -- Coco -- is about 7 weeks old and the cage has been moved so it sits near my computer desk. Whenever I walk away to where Coco can't see me, especially if I walk out of the room, Coco gives the "ka-KAA-ka" call. As far as I know, only the males make this call...
