blue breasted coturnix

[citalk2much]

The button quail in the US are
Coturnix Chinensia
We have them mis named
If I am right here little to no one in the US own "true button quail" which are not really quail. On here the button quail we all have are Chinese Painted Quail also know as the Asian Blue Quail

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

Quote:

No true button quails ARE related to shore birds... OUr button quails (chinese painted quails) are related to coturnix.

isn't that what we just cleared up? i mean, that's at least what i got out of it. this is my take:

what we call a button quail is not a true button quail, but the chinese painted quail. a true button quail is more closely related to shorebirds.

i didn't know that there was a difference between our button quails and the 'true' button quails. i thought they were the same but now i know!

wow, it is all really confusing, isn't it? anyhow, we are getting really off the subject of the original post. if there are any, i wouldn't mind a few

I wasnt here when Citalk2much cleared it up for you. I came and read that and replied to edumacate you and then saw that it was already cleared after the fact and said it was fine that you corrected me wrongly LOL!

actually it isnt off the subject still talking about buttons.

there are true button quails in the US as long as Garrie Laundry still breeds them. He has the water kind (the true kind) as well as the chinese painteds aka blue breasted, aka button quail, aka .....etc LOL

 

[citalk2much]

I did not know Garrie still had them wow that is cool thou I really don't think they are as cute as our Buttons I like all the colors the Chinese painted quail come in and the fun of gentics
