Are these birds Quail ? If so what kind and where do I get them?

[RussianChickens]

Are these birds quail? I seen them at Meijer gardens in GR Mi. It just dawned on my that they might be some kind of quail.














Now here's some pics of quail I found online.






They look the same to me. Any one know where to get these rumples quail? I'm in Michigan.

The birds you saw look like Chinese quail. Of the two pictures you got off the net, the second one is a chinese and I don't know that the first one is (but it's very pretty!).

Thanks, that must be what they are. They look so similar. Now I just want more info on them. How you raise them and where you get them. I'm curious!

Yes, I think they're also called "Button Quail" the smallest type.

The birdies in the pictures are Chinese Painted Quail. Some people call the Button Quail but this term refers to a type of small rail which has nothing to do with quail in reality.

I have a pair and apart for the morning shrieks of the male they are a very jolly pet! The female also gets broody if given the right space and condition.

Only one note of warning...they are impressive escapees since only a few hours old!
