So I have 3 gambels quails, a trio. They will be a year old the first or second week of May. So anyways, yesterday I heard a really weird sound, but I couldn't find where it was coming from. SO TODAY, I FOUND IT !! While I was feeding the quails the male just came close to the feed a let out a "WAAAHH waaa waaa" It honestly sounded like those baby dolls that cry. before yesterday, the only sound any of the quails would make would be a "weep weep weep" . . .What does his new call mean ?? will the females do it ?

I thought it was soooo funny!!
 
All quail have several to many different calls that they make for different reasons. Some calls are for attracting a mate, some are for calling the others to food, some calls are for aggressive or territorial behaviors, etc...

So you will hear many calls coming from your Gambles. I personally love the call of the Gambles as they covey up together. Sounds like...ha HAA ha, ha HAA ha. Something like this. LOL

Enjoy your quail!
