(about) 112 ways to say quail

Yes, my quail are Canadian Coturnix (form Japan) however, your quail are probably not (and that's OK). Did you know that here at ilovemyquail.blogspot.ca we promote global friendship between all species of quail and all species of owners? So, even if you (your quail) are not Canadian and are not Coturnix you are still our friends and we are still yours. Did you know that there are roughly 45 different species of quail who live all over the Glope? Probably not. 

 Anyway,as a way of promoting GQF (global quail friendship) we are requesting that if you (the loving quail owner) comment below leaving your name, your quails name(s)  and your location. 

FOR EXAMPLE:

Vancouver, BC, Canada

Then, on December 15th 2012 in honor of Global Quail Friendship Day I will collect all of the data and create a map, pinpointing all of the quails and their locations. Please do not feel shy towards the participation in this project. Together let's make December 15th the best Global Quail Friendship Day ever!

Thank you in advance for your participation,

That's so QUAIL!

Yesterday I attended my first job interview. I know what you're thinking...what does going to a job interview have to do with quail . No! I was not being interviewed to work at the farm or even at Quail Creek Retirement Care; I was actually applying for a babysitting job. So anyway, here is how is went down.

MOTHER: So Hannah, tell me about yourself. What are your interests?

ME: I love track and field and I really enjoy Bikram Yoga.

MOTHER: What is your favorite subject in school?

ME: I really like foods class and I also really like English because I like to write.

MOTHER: What sort of things do like write about?

ME: Well actually I keep a blog.

MOTHER: That so neat! What do you write about?

ME: I write about my pets.

MOTHER: What kind of pet do you have?

ME: quail...

MOTHER:...

moral of the story: do not mention your quail in a job interview...

QUAILS GONE MAD?!

We starting to become...concerned for our "male of a quail" has gone...mad.

Every time I peer into our quail habitat he is pecking on the wires as if to say, "Let me out!".  Anyone else experienced this problem before. If so, please comment below. I am starting to worry... 

2 UNITS, 12 QUAILS (11 FEMALES, 1 MALE)

I know what your thinking...

However, are quails are *not* spoiled  but they are in fact "well taken care of" .  Yes , that's right we conjoined our two quail units together to form a "quail condo" and we also added plastic sheets (a winter only cage adaptation) and a second sand box (our quails may have "sharing problems"). Displayed below is an image of our award worthy contraption and as you can see, the quails are loving the extra room to you know....do what they do all day in...

That Quail Robert 
by: Margret A. Stanger

That little bird
That one
The Nation's Heart...

IN LOS ANGLELES: "Robert revealed to those about her (he turned out to be a she) that there is indeed a universal language that all life shares. It's called love."
-Los Angleles Herald-Examiner

"That Quail Robert" by Margaret A. Stanger is a true story about a little bobwhite quail named Robert who is raised by a family of humans. When Dr. Thomas Kienzle and his wife Mildred, a retired couple from Cape Cod, Massachusetts came upon an abandoned quail egg one day, they decided that they might as well try to hatch it. I don't wan't to give away the story for you but lets just say that from this moment on in the story this retired couple's life would be changed forever.  I highly recommend this book to any and every quail lover out there, it's just one of those books that forces you to smile. 

If you have read or do end up reading "That Quail Robert" please do comment below. I would love to hear your thoughts!
