Thanks!!
P.S. BEAUTIFUL birds

!!!
Do you have Tibetans?

 

[Robo]

Yes, I have quite a few of them.

I just LOVE the color!! If I worked HARD could they posibly be tamed? Chicks?

 

[Robo]

Yes, they are very fast and flighty but you could get them to come to you for sure. They need their wings clipped though, and you would have to visit them a lot. They are not that bad at all. They are 10 times easier to tame than bobs.

HaHa!! I will be getting them next spring!! Are they aggressive? Can you give me some info on caring?


Thanks

 

[Robo]

They are not bad as far as agression. They actually get along well with eachother. As far as care goes they need to be cared for the same way as regular coturnix. They need a high protein gamebird starter throughout their lives. For housing they do best on wire, but will do fine on ground. They need to be able to get out of the wind, and have fresh water at all times.

Thanks!!
Any other suggestions???

 

[Robo]

If you want them to lay in the winter give them some Christmas lights.

HAHA!!!
Would it be OK to put a real christmas tree in there? O, I need some christmas ideas for the quail!!

 

[Robo]

I actually keep pine branches in my bobwhite pens. I string up popcorn for the coturnix. It's fun to see them jump.
