I use the construction sand because I was told that the play sand was created by crushing larger pieces of rock and had pieces that were so small they would damage the quail's lungs, similar to how the diatomaceous earth can do. I don't know if it's true or not, but haven't had any issues with the construction sand so that's what I use.
I have big circular pans with about 2 inch sides and the quail go nuts dust bathing when I give them fresh sand. It lasts a few days before they have thrown too much out to dust bathe more.
