Howdy.

Hopfully next week i'll be getting some new birds, a quartet & trio of bobwhites and a couple of pairs of gambel quails, i wondering if anyone knows what sort of size wire floor cage would suit these birds?


Thanks.

Looks like 1 sq foot per bird.

1sq Ft For Coturnix Speces

2+ Sq Ft Per Bird For New World Quail Speces Such As Bob Whites, Gambels, And Valleys--- Even This May Not Be Enough As They Are A Rough And Tumble Lot That Will Be Very Agressive To Each Other
