Please help me, i'm having an eggsistential crisis!

I have a baby quail and they keep on chirping like this https://youtu.be/IPOnn9EBX74?t=30 and they don't stop until something big moves or a sound is made. What does this mean?

Quail are social creatures, and it's lonely. You're going to have to keep it company for the next 6 days until you can get it some friends. A small stuffed animal and a mirror might help.

Also, they run into walls, try to escape, and try to push through the corner as if she will get through. What does this mean?

Check for a local Facebook group with livestock peoples on it. Ours is amazing and I wish we’d found it sooner.

Anyone?

This is a new chick, right? That's not uncommon. There are reasons quail hatchers are told to make those brooders as suicide proof as possible. They are curious and will get into everything, which means that they sometimes find very creative ways to die.

Also, my quail makes a dolphin noise like a fast chittering. What is it?

Can you post a recording to YouTube and link it here? From your description, it sounds like the hungry or excited chitter, but I'd have to hear it to be sure.

Just imagine the noises a dolphin would make and the quail makes it. Also, I can't do the recording.

Does it sound like this? These are boys crowing.
