NO MORE QUAIL JAILS!
Think of wild, free birds when you think of quails, not food! Not "game" or target practice!
About quails...
Cute, round birds who can fly but tend to move and feed on the ground.
Quails eat insects and plant matter (buds, seeds, leaves, berries).
Quails prefer to move their bodies in an unconstrained fashion, scratching the ground and perching in trees and scuttling between bushes
Quails mate and lay eggs in hopes that they hatch into chicks. Quails raise and educate their children in how to be a quail.
Quails do not lay eggs for others to take and consume.
Quail babies are precocial, meaning they are ready to run as soon as they hatch from the egg. They, like adults, do not want to be killed and eaten. They fear that distinctly.
They would much prefer to run, fly, forage, perch, scratch, peck, preen, bathe, call, sing, rest on their own terms, on their own time, according to their own needs.
What are humans doing to quails?
Quails are bred into existence to serve as experimental subjects for animal testing, as teaching tools for children, as sources of meat and eggs, as "game" to be chased and shot at...
Where can I learn about quails without junk information about how to hunt them, take them apart for meat, and steal their eggs?
Genuine question! Even websites that present themselves as being about quail conservation or appreciation tend to have special sections catering to hunters and farmers... praising the sport, praising quail meat! What about quails as living animals who value their own lives? What do they do all day? How do they relate to one another and the world?
