About Coturnix quail

This is The Fonz, a male coturnix quail about 11 weeks old. Fonzy was dumped at a veterinary clinic at about 2 weeks old, and our wildlife rescue group has been fostering him ever since, but Fonzy would love a forever home. He likes to scratch and dust and forage, and would love to be on the ground in grass and dirt! Mealworms are his favorite, and he will eat them out of your hand. He tends to be somewhat skittish, but that is mainly because he feels trapped in his small enclosure -- he will warm up with space and friendly treats! Fonzy would pair well with multiple female coturnix, but is too dominant to share the same space as another male (though he would do fine in an adjacent space). He may also pair well with a bigger or more dominant poultry bird of another species (pheasant/peacock/etc), but this is untested. Fonz can be outdoors year round if given time to acclimate to colder weather, shelter, and a secure enclosure against predators. Please reach out if you think you might have the home for this sweet boy.
