Okay, I may be a n00b & all but I have NEVER seen quail with their septums pierced! What is going on with these punk rock bobs?! What is the purpose?

Missi,
I'm new to a lot of this too...
But I think it's to keep them from pecking the other quail. Hope someone who knows chimes in, because i'm curious too.

Why isn't anyone else wondering about this?! LOL & if it is because they know what it is for, why aren't they answering us??

lol quaillady, only if I don't beat you to it and become "crazy quail man".

Missi-those ARE anti peck bits, and are to help reduce pecking and caniblizm.

Those are called anti-pick bits and they are used for aggressiveness/picking.
