best quail for a pet?

[schoebel_taylor]

Hi i was just wondering what people think is the best type of quail for a pet?

 

[DLS]

I never thought about a quail for a pet. I have a dog. I raise quail to eat & sell?

Quail R Food=== Dont Play With Your Food! Lol, Sorry Couldnt Resist...

Seriously Tho, I'd Say Coturnix Have The Best Personality.

Quail have very strong dropping smells. You'll want the change paper twice a day. That said I have a 13oz Coturnix as a house guest currently, he lost a fight and is recovering in a large reptile box for a few weeks, untill his harem matures. It's unusual for me to go this far, but the eggs came from a dear friend, and he's unusually handsome. I know some people keep button quail as pets, but they are like fish, they're pretty but not really pettable.

It's one of Niki's tuxes, and large for a colored strain, gonna get him some husky ladies and see what he throws... The fact that he's happily sitting on my desk nibbling a buffet of high protien treats has nothing to do with affection.

hmmm i need a "busted" smiley....

We get a big kick out of watching the buttons bounce all over after a bug!

I made an inside pen that has 2 sides of pexiglass.

We have 65 Button Quail as pets inside and another 20 eggs hatching (hopefully) today. I think Button Quail are adorable pets.
