Sad News

[007Sean]

It's with sad news I have to announce that the oldest Northern Bobwhite I had has passed on to it's greater reward! He was 11 years old!!!

This was the same male that was featured in the thread 'Awesome surprise' https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/awesome-surprise.1422275/

I am sorry for your quail's passing.

I don't know anything about the normal lifespan, but 11 years sounds like a very long time for a quail to live -- and to leave you with some incredible memories.

So sorry.
Just read your “Awesome Surprise” thread.
Sounds like he loved a good life.

Sorry you lost your Quail... It is always tough to lose a bird we love...

Sorry you lost your long time survivor.
Can quail get as old as chickens?
