I have a feeling that both Shelly and Quaillady are right. Just expressing themselves in a different way. Around here both Tibs and Rosettas are called British range. A catch-all name if I have ever heard of one. If I called someone that was selling birds on craigslist listed as British ranges, you would then ask them if they are selling Tibs or Rosettas. Then they would tell you which ones they were. A pain in the neck but that is the way the world works down here.


To the OP, Very BEAUTIFUL little ones. Good luck with them.

I have heard them called both. I call them all british ranges too. I call the light ones Rosetta and the darker ones Dark British Ranges.

When I started Coturnix, I got most of the colors from what other people said and the internet, some old books, this and that...as I studied them more...I found out that some people 'claim' that the birds came from their farm so the names came out as 'Tibetan' or 'Rosetta'. If you looked into Journals, you can see that many people claim they create a new color, then name it, yet it already existed...the Rosetta was one of them. The British Range Coturnix possess an autosomal incomplete dominant gene for brown and black pigments extending into all feather areas as well as the feather's shaft. That's why we have the two color patterns. And then if you introduce a Homozygous English White that shows the color of your pattern, you can produce a tuxedo of that pattern, hence the British Range Tuxedos. Ralph Somes Jr. wrote an article on this in 1979. Now, I am just one person, I agree..If no one agrees with me, that is fine with me. I am not here to pick fights. I just love quail and they have potential for the future.
