Yesterday they had all headed off to the back yard--our neighborhood has open fencing and they found refuge in a beautiful yard of my neighbor who does not have dogs to bother them, with lots of bushes and trees. That shot of the babies by the side of the sound was right after their escape from...

California quail, they are so pretty!

Yes, I am finding that out! We have learned a lot, and yes, they are Calif quail. Love it!!

Here are a couple of pics, I think I counted 16 babies in one of the pictures. Here is the famous pot, hatched eggs, the babies with Momma looking down on them. By this afternoon they all had traveled to the backyard and into a safe neighbors yard, all of the babies heeding Momma's call. We...

The trouble is, they can't get to the rim of the pot to get onto the plank.

Thank goodness for this forum. By owning a tall 3 ft flower pot in my front yard I have unwittingly become a grandparent of baby quail that just hatched today. The problem is, 2 years ago a brood of babies that hatched in the same pot could not get out of the pot and we didn't realize this...
