Another type of breed you can raise is the Gambel Quail, which is distinctive for the turf on their foreheads. The Gambel quails prefer to mate in single pairs. They are quite challenging to raise, demanding lots of care and attention. The birds learn to eat at a plodding pace, and they feed their young for longer compared to other quails. Gambel Quails are as aggressive as their Bobwhite counterparts and require about six months to mature.
The California quail is often mistaken for the Gambel Quail because of their striking similarities. They are ornamental birds, and most people keep them merely for entertainment. They make an excellent addition to aviaries with small parrots, softbills, and finches. They are a little more expensive than your regular birds. Raising them can be tedious, as their young require that you hand-feed them until they learn how to feed on their own.
Just like the Bobwhite and Gambel Quail, they take about six months to mature and can be very aggressive. They are the largest species native to the United States, reaching about 9 ounces at full maturity.
Also known as Cotton-tops, they are difficult to find for purchase. They prefer to nest on sandy soils and move in large groups due to their social nature. The Blue-Scale quails are strong layers, producing spotted eggs. It takes about six months for them to mature.
Blue-scale quails are very calm and gentle birds. Instead of flying when scared, they run away. Interestingly, the Blue-scale can be cross-bred with the Bobwhite to give an offspring known as a blob. Also, they can be bred with a Gambel to give a Scramble. If, however, you need a bird that can offer you meat, eggs, and sport, then the Bobwhite quail is your best option. California Quails are great for pleasure and aesthetics, while Button Quails rank as the most desirable pet quail.
