How to tame/ let quail be house pets
They will lay when the moment arrives no matter where they are normally, but they will prefer to lay their eggs where they feel most safe and comfortable. It’s such a big deal for a teeny quail to lay an egg that looks huge when placed next to the teeny hen that laid it!! For those special... -

Don’t give up yet. There may still be a little miracle on the way. Fingers crossed. -
How to tame/ let quail be house pets
PLEASE post photos of the hatchlings! You’re right…. exciting! My little Kiki actually went broody once and hatched 7. She was a wonderful mommy. Funny to see a bird so tiny on top of 7 eggs, but she managed it. She was so proud and raised them herself with a wee bit of help from me. -

Well…. Your little ball of fluff knows you’re his/her mommy, so it stands to reason that he/she can locate and associate that your mouth is like his/her teeny mouth. Instinctually used for eating, drinking, preening, vocalizing (for mommy to pick him/her up) and bonding with/preening mommy... -

I adore my cat, but sweet little quail cuddles are the best. -
How to tame/ let quail be house pets
It’s funny to find out the things they can get into! It’s natural for them to pick at your mouth, because birds will do that to preen their bonded partners. Sometimes, a pick can hurt though. My conure does it to me, and it doesn’t feel that good at times. My House Bobs try it from time to time... -
How to tame/ let quail be house pets
That is soooo adorable! I had a similar experience with my female Kiki. The only difference is that she was raised with siblings and would call out until I went and got her. She’d get louder and louder until I did! When she was to the point of egg laying, she wouldn’t lay an egg unless I was... -

Actually, if YOU knew anything at all about taking PROPER care of a house pet, there wouldn’t be an ammonia issue. -
How to tame/ let quail be house pets
So sorry about her sister 😞. When I lost my last bird babies…. a Chinese painted female (2+ years old and a male bobwhite 8 years old) I was crushed… really crushed. There was an empty hole in my heart for a long time. When we spend our lives viewing a sweet little pet as a part of our families... -
How to tame/ let quail be house pets
Paper training began when I used to place a training pad inside the cage for him to do his business on (quick and easy cage cleanup). Well, I would let him wander outside for exercise and time with me. I always placed a training pad on the stone tile floor for him to lay on. And, if there was an... -

The buttons have a general lifespan of 1-4 years in my experience so far. I’ve had females live to approximately 3 years though. That is a little unusual for a female but possible if their calcium and mineral needs are met and they are not exposed to harsh elements. My oldest now are males over... -

This is my incredible cuddle bug Kiki before she passed. -
How to tame/ let quail be house pets
In my experience, yes some do mellow…. especially a few of my females. I had one particular female that wanted to always be cuddled. My buttons are ages 3 years 1 month- 1 year and the bobs are 3 years 1 month- 2 years 4 months. My first 2 generations of house bobs lived to be 8 years and 7... -
How to tame/ let quail be house pets
It takes a whole lot of patience…. especially if you did not raise them from hatchlings. I have loads of experience raising Bobwhite Quail and Chinese Painted. Only a little experience with Coturnix though. If you just let them exit the cage on their terms, you may get good results. Some...
