Today I picked up a pair of Button Quail. Brought them home and set them down in their carrier in my room. I shut my door and my mom was helping me with them. So I open the lid and the female button flys straight up and gets out!! AH! So she is flying everywhere and me and my mom are trying to catch her ... finally we caught her and put her in the pen! The male was alot easier to catch. The female was really upset and hid in her nest for about .... 10 minutes ..... then she would come out for a few seconds and go back in. She is still in her nest.
The male is just the cutest lil' thing! I Love him already!!! We named the female "Bunny" and the male is named " Buttons."
It was too cute ... just a minute ago I heard the male whistle!!! It was so loud and cute!!! * Aw!!! * He makes alot of different sounds, one is like a low growlish kinda thing, one is just a happy chirp and one is a loud Whistle! lol
What do they mean?
What color would you call them? If the female is upset, will she not lay an egg for awhile? Or will it take her alittle while to ajust to her new pen etc? Do you have any tips on getting them friendly? Thanks and Enjoy!
The happy couple.
Buttons, the male.
The nesting box.
Parakeet food, and grit. They have layer ration, as well.
Their pen they're in at the moment.
