Vinegar/Water mix and Coturnix Quail

[Lauren111]

I was told mixing vinegar and water to spray on the inside of coop and birds when introduced new ladies to the coop helps decrease aggression because the vinegar hinders the quails sense if smell for who is new vs established in the coop. Is this safe?

Vinegar is not toxic to them. I would imagine they would not enjoy it being sprayed in their eyes due to its acidity but it is pretty mild. I know many, many chicken and quail owners who use a small amount of apple cider vinegar in the water once or twice a week.
