I was watering my quail and one escaped. I wouldn't be too worried EXCEPT this is one of my males!!! I only have 2!!
Anyone know how to build a "quail funnel"? or have success in catching quail that have escaped?
I tried my best. Even gave my neighbors a show in the process. I didn't have anything to throw over him to catch him with, the dog was walking around trying to get to him, there was one of my 2 cats close by so...........
I yanked off my shirt (I'm a "big" girl) and slowly followed him around the quail/playhouse coop. After the 2nd time around I got him where I could get a good shot at him, through my shirt and pounced. So did the dog and the cat and off flew the quail. Last I saw him, he was headed for the dogwoods at the back of the property with the cat in hot pursuit.
Not sure if the neighbors saw anything or not, wasn't watching for them. The cops haven't showed up so I guess I'm in the clear.
HELP!! How do I get my quail back?!
