How to teach a Quail to eat?

[QuailMcQuail]

I have a couple baby Button quails, one is 1 day old the other is 2 days old. I am trying to teach them to eat seed by putting some seed on tin foil and tapping it with my finger. But they're not interested. I'm also trying to get them to drink by dipping their beaks in some water, which seems to be working.

Any tips for teaching them tasks like these?

Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.

What kind and how big is the seed? Personally at that age they should be on a fine chick crumb to get them eating.

I start by putting it on some rubber shelf liner or kitchen paper so they can peck at it. Tapping in the crumb also helps them to come and investigate it.

At the moment I just have seed I feed my finches. The mother Quail decided to abandon them, so I wasn't ready to take them in. Would you start feeding them straight away or?

Thanks for the help
