What They Eat:

I feed my quails Bar-Ale, a locally sourced game bird crumble with 22% protein, which provides a nutritionally complete diet for them. In the past, and in a time restraint, I have fed them Nutrena NatureWise Meatbird Crumble, also with 22% protein, which has a comparable nutritional profile

My birds are cage-free in the spring, summer, and fall, as per NRS 583.213. The outdoor aviary provides enrichment that allows them to engage in natural behaviors such as foraging, scratching, hiding, pecking, socializing, nesting, and dust bathing. It also includes cover and a chain-link fence beneath the aviary to protect against predators.

During the colder months, the birds are kept comfortably in a 3-tiered condominium, with a healthy and safe ratio of 1 male to every 4-5 females.
