4 week old quail, heat needed?

[Oob Child]

Do my 4 week old quail need heat still? I keep them in my room and it's 10 days into spring. They are almost fully feathered.

Thanks! Every time they get called cute I make them a new foraging toy, I'll have to start on that
Here's the cage im putting them in, I'm still not putting them on wire. They will have their first sand bath.

Thanks, I'm adding some containers with holes in them for hiding places as well.

If they are see through you could zip tie some plastic vines to the lid so the feel more covered.

Foraging toy complete!
Sesame seeds in a foam mat to attach to the wall of their cage, my older birds like it so I'll try it with them.

I think I might try that for my birds. I like hiding millet spray around my aviary and sprinkling seeds around the ground for the birds do more foraging.
