Male quail question...

[guardianoftheflock]

Hey y'all!

So...I was out in my front yard and I noticed a male quail sitting the a fence nearby. He was making noises so I just copied him and we had a nice little talk.

It got me thinking though... What are male quail called? Are they like...roosters? Or something else?

Cockbird is the correct term, but just about everyone here calls them roos or roosters.
