Aggressive male?

[PolishAllTheWay]

I think he sounds like he’s just being an as**ole

I had a male draw blood from me once. Next day he was in my fridge.

I have three males currently that can see and hear other birds but are housed seperately. I'm sure they would like girls for themselves, but it's not the end of the world

I cull excessively aggressive birds too. I don't want that trait passed along.

I've had quail try to attack me. It's usually because they are eager for food, water, treats, or being territorial. I can't bring myself to get worried about a ten oz bird attacking me, though.

Yea vut i missed when he wanted cuddles all the time instead of a rare lip nip from him lmao im thinking territorial cuz its around the playpen (i let him roam the house all day)

Quail are pretty primitive. I saved one from the dinner plate because he was the passive one who could be a healing hen's companion. (He was the one all the roos mounted in the boys' pen.) Now that he's in a cage with four other birds he's getting much bolder. They don't call it pecking order for nothing.

With two males and one female, you really don't have many choices. . .

Hello, so i hatched 4 of 12 quail eggs on 14/11/2020.
One died 19/11/2020 because it wasn't eating or drinking and couldn't walk.

In December I figured out I had 2 males and 1 female, they were all fine until the end of December when 1 of my male quails who started foaming first started plucking the feathers out of the females head making her bald, I separated them for a day and since then he tries to mate with her and the male and then the males fight so I've had to keep him in his own box and its only been recently that he's been pecking and sort of growling at me when I'm near him. All of them have been handled since young and I don't know why he's being a little pr*ck. I don't really want to kill him so should I just keep him separated?

The other male and the female are together and laying eggs and he doesn't rip her feathers out.

Okay so I'm having the same problem . What did you end up doing?? I separated my aggressive male quail and my other female and male quail are doing fine. It's just that my aggressive male is now super lonely and stressed... Damn I didn't know raising quail would be so fwreaking hard.

What I have ended up doing, even if it's tough, is butchering any that show agression. Tough, but I figure it's kinder to get rid of a bully than have the bully kill other birds
