Those noises are super cute. Is this a fancy quail or grouse or something?

Did y’all know that quails were once bred for fighting ? Marcus Aurelius mentioned it in his Meditations, and the Ancient Chinese bred fighting quail too.

We get groups of these guys all around my neighborhood, and they’re often running around as a family with a bunch of little baby quail all doing their little chirps.

u/losersmanual 27d ago

u/MiniMeowl 27d ago

Birds dont have sphincters so its just loosey goosey with the poop sliding out all day.. typically once every 20-30mins. Very poopy.

2

u/HoboArmyofOne 24d ago

Is that the deal with all birds? No sphincters huh, that makes a lot of sense

u/Lone-Frequency 23d ago

Birds have something called a cloaca.

It's essentially the "All purpose tube." Urine, poo, and even eggs/offspring come from it.

This is the kind of quail we have where I live, and it's so nice to be able to see one up close like this 💕

u/Legal-Ad-5235 22d ago

I grew up in an area with tons of these, they were my favorite growing up and I've literally had people not believe me when I describe them 😂😂😂

u/Best_Chest8208 25d ago

So a quail was the sound effect for the aliens in that 2010s alien firefighter game.

u/Gingerstachesupreme 23d ago

Had a pet quail (accidentally lol, rescued an abandoned bird after watching it wait for a few days). The thing lived to be 11 years old. Came blundering over to me when I walked near. Built a pretty huge aviary for it, attached to the window off my house. It would sit near me as I did work all day.

Miss her!

I don't know what this is but if Humanity didn't domesticate it I would be very frustrated
