Picked up my coturnix quail babies from the feed store the other day. 5 are typical and seem oblivious to the fact that a person is feeding them and changing their water. They freak out a little when the "giant hand" reaches in to fuss with things, but are generally absorbed in their little quail world of eating, drinking and pooping. But the other one. It eyeballs me. It peeps to me. It is AWARE.
I have a duck like that. She started eyeballing me on day 1.
She is my "flock queen" now. Kinda took over as soon as she got adult sized. Every drake I ever had went gaga over her. She is very smart (for a duck) and does get in to trouble. She is a bit of an escape artist as well.
There is something special about those "aware" peeps. Or am I nuts?
I will try to upload a picture of my spooky quail later. Hopefully it's a girl
