Quail plants.

Hi all! I have bob white quail chicks almost ready for the outside enclosure. Looking to plant wildflower seeds, do you know of any I should avoid for them? Thanks!

Thank you. Some of theses that are in the seed packet are bad I guess.

Lantana is supposedly poisonous to most birds but I've had it in my pens for years and haven't loss a single bird to it. They eat the leaves, berries and any young tender shoots they find. I have alot of native weeds and grasses, shrubs in my aviaries and I'm sure some are probably poisonous to birds but I haven't experienced any deaths from them foraging on the plants.
