What plants to grow for meet quail?

[Mrmurf]

Hello,
We are getting our yard ready for raising quail, but we'd like for them to eat all natural food that we can grow in S. Florida. We are in great need of advice on the variety of plants to grow and would like to stay away from invasive plants. Please help.

That's almost impossible since quail aren't strictly plant eaters, they can't digest it to absorb the benefits, like say, a cow can.
How much land do you have? Are you against aquaponics?

How much time and money do you have before you get the quail?
If cost is an issue, it will be much cheaper and more likely healthier for the quail to eat a commercially made crumbled feed.

Are you talking about planting forage?
