This was long overdue but today I finally took all the dirty straw out of the quail run and added fresh straw and pine shavings. 🐦 That all created a lot of consternation, as you can see by the slightly open beaks. They should enjoy it once they get over the shock though.

Small white bird and small stripy bird on a pile of straw. Small small brown stripy bird on a pile of pine shavings. Small white bird in the corner of a fenced run. Wide angle view of the run with fresh straw, pine shavings, birds.

@Miraz I just got my copy of Der-Shing’s Quail Party and am having so much fun learning about these cuties! Your babies are beautiful. :)

@Alcedine What a cool book! My little quail are real cuties, and sometimes hilarious. One time when the run was much less secure a couple got out. I 'found' them huddled just outside trying to get back in. 😀
