Bobwhite quails already at home in Europe

You need to come to the U.S. and jump up a wild covey. Then you'll understand what flushing quail is all about. First time that happened to me I was a kid and hunting rabbits, and it scared me to death.

I bet it would be fun, I don't know how much different it is from the native quails and partridges we have here, but I always like new experiences.

Our most common ground bird is the Red Legged Partridge (weirdly also known as French Partridge, is related to the Chukar), is native to Portugal, Spain and some parts in the south of France.

It's really crazy to see them flush, specially to see how energetic their are and how far away they can fly.
Here is a beautiful video of it:

I was looking at your pen that you built and it looks like you already have Coturnix in there. I just wanted to let you know that Bobs can get very aggressive and WILL kill a Coturnix. If you are going to keep both breeds I would STRONGLY suggest that you keep them separated. Just do not want to see you have any issues with your birds.
Good looking bobs by the way.

Thanks man!

I already know about that problem, but an advice is never too much. Actually at first was my intention put them together, but I will not do it now, knowing that...

Thanks for all the advices, my bob's are healthy and happy, and have already been moved out of the quarantine cage.
Here are some photos of them before the transition.
