Feeding Button Quail

[cowgirl11]

Do I leave them food all day long or only feed them twice a day like my other birds?

I leave it down all the time but I don't think it really matters.

ETA: Leave it down means I feed them once a day and they get enough that it should last them all day. If they run out then they are out of luck until the next day.

I concur, if they stuff themselves then they shouldnt need more food til the next day anywho

Its a small breed of quail also known as the Chinese Painted i believe. It is a small brown female Blue and Red Male bird that is very popular as pets due to their easy care and maintenance (as far as birds go anywho)

There are several different colors actually. The correct name for them is Chinese Blue-Breasted Quail, but they've been called all sorts of things.
