I was curious as to what Californa Fish & Wildlife's permit requirements were....here is the section of the permit regulations that are considered domestic birds.
§3500. Resident and Migratory Game Birds
Enumerated; “Game Birds”
(a) Resident game birds are as follows:
(1) Doves of the genus Streptopelia, including,
but not limited to, spotted doves, ringed
turtledoves, and Eurasian collared-doves.
(2) California quail and varieties thereof.
(3) Gambel’s or desert quail.
(4) Mountain quail and varieties thereof.
(5) Sooty or blue grouse and varieties thereof.
(6) Ruffed grouse.
(7) Sage hens or sage grouse.
(8) Hungarian partridges.
(9) Red-legged partridges including the chukar
and other varieties.
(10) Ring-necked pheasants and varieties
thereof.
(11) Wild turkeys of the order Galliformes.
(b) Migratory game birds are as follows:
(1) Ducks and geese.
(2) Coots and gallinules.
(3) Jacksnipe.
(4) Western mourning doves.
(5) White-winged doves.
(6) Band-tailed pigeons.
(c) References in this code to “game birds”
means both resident game birds and
migratory game birds.
Doesn't have anything about Blue Scale quail but to be sure I would contact a game warden for a confirmation of Blue quail not being included as 'domestic birds'.
