Quail Species and How To Pick The Right Bird For You

Fantastic article TwoCrows! I can see you put a lot of time and effort into this. Very well written and extremely helpful for beginners like me. This will be bookmarked. Thanks for sharing your knowledge of quail!.

Excellent article! I will be keeping this in my book marks for anyone who asks what type of quail they should get.

Excellent information.

Excellent detail and lots of information. Very helpful. The pictures are beautiful and helpful as well.

Well written. Wish I would've read it before another quail breeder said it would be okay to keep a bunch of bobwhites together.

This is indispensable information for a wannabe quail owner. Having basic care and traits all in one place makes it very easy to sse which species would be best for me (Coturnix, by the way!). Thanks for writing this!

This greatly simplified my research! I now know that Coturnix Quail are right for me!

Great article! I learned alot from reading it. Thanks for all of the additional links given at the end as well. I appreciate all the hard work that went into the creation of this article. I recommend reading it to anyone remotely interested in raising quail of any sort.

Very well written, excellent source of information. The only thing I can think of to add is, Bob's, Blues, Gambles, Valleys and Mountain quail can be raised in large aviaries. They don't need to be seperated during breeding season if the enclosure is large and proper habitat is provided...but for the purpose of this article it is best for someone who has no knowledge of quail, to follow the author's advice.
Good job Leyla!

This is a great place to start for anyone interested in learning about quail. The photos and descriptions of each breed were helpful as well as the recommendations on choosing breeds for various reasons.

Read this article because quite honestly, i knew nothing about quail, whatsoever. Never knew that there were so many varieties and sub varieties of them. I shouldnt be surprised, tho. I would like to start keeping quail and this was a great place to start. Was considering keeping the quail with the cute head feathers, but after reading this am thinking i need to start with coturnix quail.

I knew nothing about quail until I read this article. Very informative for the novice or just the interested.

For someone who is thinking about getting quail.
Good job!

A wonderfully written article. Went very into detail and the author didn’t forget a single thing. 5 out of 5!

Keep up the AMAZING work!!!

Very informative. Thank you!
