Bobwhite Quail as pets

[Quailer21]

Are bobwhite quail good pets?

 

[magicpigeon]

In my experience quails aren't always the friendliest of pets though opinions differ.

Very pretty to look at, they make really cool sounds but not for handling.

 

[Quailer21]

Do any of you know which kind of quail are easiest to domesticate?

 

[magicpigeon]

I'm gonna go with Jap quails. Button quails are too small for me

 

[Quailer21]

Oh, well thanks for the help. I'll keep you posted on if I do get bobwhites.

 

[Quailer21]

Also, what kind of quail did you raise in your experience?

 

[happyhensny]

We had Buttons, A & M's and normal Coturnix. We liked the chubby A & M's.

Quail are not real friendly and dont like to be handled alot. Much like fish... They also make GREAT pets. Much like fish. But the fish cant be heard making all the sounds Quail do.... Get ya some birds!! BTW, I keep bobs, coturnix and chukars. I dig'em all!!! Bill

i got coturnix, they are friendly enough, mainly nice to look at, and the eggs are nice. i hatched some recently, they have grown accustom to me to the point that when i pick them up they will just stand in my hand and start making noises. nothing more past that tho
