We lost one of our quail about a month ago. She impressively flew over our fence and kept on flying and we didn’t see her again. Yesterday we were united with a quail somebody had found that looks a lot like the quail we had lost. Her mannerisms are very similar and her personality but her coat is a touch lighter than that of the one we lost (more gray-ish) shes in pretty bad condition with very damaged wings, an overgrown beak, very under weight and a large wound on her back but otherwise quite alert and friendly. I’m just wondering if this could be our quail? If she moultedwhile she was out there and developed a lighter coat? A lot of my other birds look very different now they’ve moulted (often a lot darker or new patterns). So I’m just wondering if this could be my bird? Or if I’ve acquired a new one? I’ll attach photos. The first one is of my bird that went missing and the other three of the new bird. The last photo is quite poor but gives an idea of her colouring. Thanks.
