Crow attacked my quail!!!

[Quailophilic]

Today, a crow tried to attack and carry my quail. Foutunately, he could not do so, but he pulled out a lot of her feathers. She seems apparently fine, with no visible injury, but she is very frightened. She was always afraid of me but today she won't run away from me. I can pick her up. She is not eating, not drinking, just panting(or whatever you say it) with wide open mouth. She is standing still in her place and eyes fully attentive. She won't move. Also she is doing watery poop(more like solid poop in water) What should I do???
And she has started laying a few days ago.
Is she going to be okay??

Of course she is shocked. Who wouldn't.

Keep her warm and save. Against the watering poop you can offer poppy seed.
Maybe mealworms can start her appetit again.

Good luck, for the poor victim.

... I should buy a Smartphone for mine either

No don't....
If you buy them a smartphone, they will stop laying, spending most of the time on instagram and facebook،

I cannot keep them locked up. I tried once, but they started fighting and pecking at eachother. I only lock them up at night. During the day time, they are free to move around the house so they can dust bath, run around,have an exercise and importantly look for and catch bugs and insects. They seem to enjoy the freedom life.....

Wow, I like that

And they do not escape? This is the first working free range example I read about for quails.
Of course it is similar with children ... they have to go their own way from a certain point and the dangers of the world are always possible.

How difficult is it to get them back in the evening?

Totally thumbs up for this courage

I keep their feathers trimmed. And no neighbors' cats are allowed in my house. Not even a stray cat comes into my house idk why.
At night they all gather up in the grass bed(or whatever you say). All i have to do is to pick them up and put in their cage. Thats it.
And, they love spending time with their house-sparrow friends that live in the Bougainvillea.

It is probably a raven, not a crow. Crows are small and much less predatorial. I have had ravens kill full grown chickens. And if your in the USA like me you can’t kill em. The best thing is to keep the quail Locked so nothing can get em.

Keep her warm and save.

It is already very hot here. And she is safe. I've put her in a dark box on the room so she could get a little bit of rest.
