    I've learned so much here, I figure its time I share something in case it helps someone else. So FWIW here you go.... I decided to build a run just until winter but being temporary I didn't want to spend money. The small city backyard has a decent slope running diagonally from the back...

    I recently made a watering system for my quail and I connected the pvc together with Oatley pvc primer and cement. Will the primer and cement hurt the quail at all or make them sick?

    DIY No Waste Quail Feeder

    Okay let's call this a minimal waste feeder that can be converted into a zero waste feeder very easily. I purchased a little giant 1 quart feeder from tractor supply.

We tried tying the sagging parts to trees but I was not confident in its ability to hold snow, predators, etc. There are trees that I could wrap...
