Will corutnix quail mimic other noises? I have 7 females an 3 males. They make very interesting sounds. Some times a whistle.other like a guinea pig talking an something else it's hard to describe

They have an odd crow, you will know when you hear it. Its just the sounds they naturally make. Hens will chatter and talk too.

Cool. I noticed the whistle yesterday almost like a cat call.i kept looking for my husband cause he'll whistle at me.Lol then i have heard a noise that sounds like my ducks when they go to the bathroom... BUT my ducks were nowhere around.. So I was curious if they were copycats like a mockingbird

Not that I know of. Good question tho! They have a noise when laying, its high pitched like a whistle. The crow is a raspy sound like you hear on an old movie. They have a happy trill sound too.
