Button quail sounds.

[plreef]

So when my wife and I first started to research button quail. From my understanding was that they are very quite birds, and all we knew was that they had a quite chirp. Its rather soothing. We have them in a nice sized bird cage in the bed room. UNTILL the darn things woke me up at 3:00 am with some kind of LOUD crowing type sound. It scared the heck out of me! I jumped clear out of bed!!!

OK so I WILL put the laughing guy - but only because I had no idea that quail crowed and it scared the snot out of me. I thought there was a puppy or a hurt mouse in my laundry room!

This is my first time having buttons. They have been a riot and I love them to pieces.
Here is a pic from my 1st hatch last week - this is from my adults I bought from kellyhm
