Food stuck in throat / bent neck

EDIT: After sifting through many hours of footage, I found the culprit. It was a rat. The quail wasn't bothered enough by the presence of the rat, and it seems the rat got defensive over the feeder and leaped like 50-100cm at the quail. They tussled for a bit before the rat dragged her under the palet of the compost pile :( I went to see what was there and hopefully kill all the rats in the nest, but I only found her half eaten body :( I have declared war on these bastards, and will find a way to permanently put an end to them coming back. Until then, I have moved the 4 remaining quail into a large dog crate, and put the male in the original, smaller, but animal proof coop.
Oh goodness! I'm sorry to hear that:(

I hope you can get rid of them.
