LOL no theres no blue breasted coturnix. Button quails yes that's a normal button quail you're more than likely looking at. A button quail IS a coturnix species.

Scientists have produced blue coturnix but no one in the US has true blue coturnix, I will be given project eggs here in teh fall for blue downed coturnix but thats as close as its' gotten so far (down not feathers).

i was sure that button quail were more closely related to small shorebirds like snipes and plovers. in fact, i am positive.

monarc, i think you might be getting button quail confused with the asian blue quail
