I found this little quail at a park last week. My dog scared her out of the grass and she flew into a fence trying to get away. At first, I thought she was injured, because she tried to fly away a few more times but she kept falling to the ground. I brought her home and put her in an old hamster cage. After some observation, it seems like she is not injured and probably was just stunned from the collision. She’s been eating parakeet food, preening, hanging out - the usual bird stuff. I put up an ad on Craigslist to see if anyone is looking for her, but no luck. She's a very sweet bird. She's tame enough to allow handling but she doesn’t like it too much. Unfortunately, I can't keep her because she's not safe with my dogs being around. I don't have a yard to build a coop and run for her. It wouldn't be fair to her to have to spend the rest of her life in a cage just to keep her safe from the dogs. I’d like to find her a home with other quail and someone knowledgeable in how to take care of quail. I just want her to have the good life. If you think you could give her a new home, please message me. Thank you!
