Female quail making male noises???

[Eggdogiscool]

So..i had a nice female quail,almost 1 year old and today,when i wanted to give her some nice mealworms,she suddenly started to make male noises(the noise when the male finds food and calls the females) and searched everywhere for a female,couldnt find one and ate it..
what is happening?????

She’s probably just trying to be more dominant, nothing to be concerned about.

Thank you for answering

I don't have quails and know nothing about them, but this sounds similar to how an alpha chicken hen will make the male call when she finds food.
