Mother quail seemingly in trouble

[HaloDuck]

So, we have 3 quail couples living on our property.

Just today, we saw one of the mother quail stumbling, and we thought she had a hurt leg, but when we watched her more something else seems to be wrong. She seems to have no equilibrium- she keeps stumbling, leaning, and moving to the right, as if she had a stroke or something. I wish I could post a video but I’m not sure if I can.

I was just hoping someone could let me know what might be going on and if there’s any way we could help.

Can you post the video to YouTube or something and put the link here? These are wild quail, right?

So my more 'legal' answer is, it sounds like it's a wild quail going through some wild quail things. You can try reporting it to fish & wildlife but generally it's to let nature take its course (unless fish & wildlife are concerned with disease)

However, the bleeding heart in me would also probably want to do something, if you have a video or photo of what she's doing there may be advice we can give, but if you are unable to catch her there's probably not much treatment wise that could be done from a distance with wildlife
