All they had at the time was an old rat cage to place it in. Till they had time to make it something better. They had still been in the middle of summer camp at the time.
They will take it. We know then very well and are always happy to help an animal in need.
I'll look into getting another one. Here are some more pictures. Some of them are not great. I can get more tomorrow.
Oh also I'm only going to keep it if our local nature center doesn't want it. I'll look into the feed store for ideas.
What if I can't find someone who has another one, how bad would it be to keep it as a single?
I live in southern Louisiana. We have bobwhite quail, but I don't think common is native. Right now I've got it in a wire dog crate with some feed and water till o figure out what to do with it.
What all can I do to make it feel safe and comfortable?
I'm not sure what to do with it. Like I mentioned, it's been hanging out in a tiny back strip behind our condo. We live in a heavily housed area and not near any area it should be.
I first noticed it when fixing my air conditioner last week, and it ran just a few feet away and didn't stray far...
Can someone tell me if this is a Japanese or common quail? It's been hanging out in my tiny area of grass for the last week. Not scared of me or anything.
