Human: fly = nuisance
Quail: fly = candy

Seeing how much my quail love eating any kind of bug, I was wondering if one could rig one of these electric fly catchers to drop their dead prey directly into the quail pen... unfortunately I cannot try this right now as winter has started, anybody want to give this a go?
 
I tried this in my barn this summer figuring the chickens would love the bugs. Amazingly I didn't get very many bugs or flies attracted to it at all. Then I went out one time after dark and the light from it hurt my eyes tremendously. I took it down because I figured if it hurt my eyes that much then it couldn't be good for the animals.

I don't understand why it didn't attract many bugs though. Maybe they only work at night for nocturnal bugs and mosquitoes?
