How do I convince my parents to let me get more quail?

do you have any friends that have quail that would take her

Mmnope. The idea of keeping quail as pets is extremely new. I am the only one who is keeping quail as pets in my entire country.

Until you can figure something else out, maybe you can try putting a small mirror in the cage with her. Its not a perfect fix, but it might help.

Also know that when you add new quail into the mix they can sometimes fight & that could be an enormous disaster. IMO being alone is better than the possibility of being constantly attacked.

Unless you know EVERYONE in your area, that's probably not true.

Haha, she'll accept any quail. We had another quail earlier and she loved the other one to bits. She preened her feathers a lot, but the other one had Ulcerative Enteritis, easily spreadable disease and we gave it back. We treated her and she pulled through.

get fertilized quail eggs and incubate them then take one of your quails eggs and replace it with the newborn chick

Oh man. That's hard. Try to google "How to sell quail in the Middle East". If that doesn't work, I'm fresh out of ideas.

Like I said, it takes 2 months to ship. The eggs will die.

Okay. I'll do that

Isn't your mom annoyed by the noise she makes? Tell her she does that because she's stressed out from being alone and getting another one would make her stop. It's not good for her to be alone - just like humans that are stressed are more likely to get sick, depressed and so on, the same goes for quail. Knowingly keeping an animal in a way that is causing it distress to a degree that is likely to shorten its life actually approaches abuse.
If your quail is female, a single female friend should be enough.
Is the bird cage free, since your mother thinks it's making a mess? Maybe you could try making/improving a cage that'll keep the mess better contained, to make sure your mother has nothing to complain about. And make it attractive so she can't complain about the looks either.
