I will show you how to keep quails and raise them naturally. In this part I will show you my homemade button quail coop or quail cage and have some tips to build your own cage. And remember raising quails in a more natural environment will result in healthier quails. It is very cheap and easy.

If I were planning on raising quail as pets this would be the video for me but, I'm going to raise quail for meat and eggs. There's a way to keep quail happy and comfortable in smaller cages, even the wire mesh cages. A little straw, some pine needles and a sandbox along with access to fresh water and food they'll be happy their entire life. You've definitely created a beautiful setup for your pets. Great job!👍

I like it. I also have a pet quail. I also think they would like a big tray of growing grass to walk on. They also like to hide in tall seedy grasses that they can walk amongst & jump up to get the seeds. Thank you for sharing & love how thoughtful you were for them. Nice build job & interesting for them with levels & different areas. Very happy quail indeed, lucky too! 😃👍

A nice video showing a set up for quail in limited space. I like the natural element, but for new quail owners in colder climates, be warned, quail don't get out of the rain, they will just stand in it and get cold, so I do feel that a cover outdoors is necessary on the 'outside' section. Also, if they have access to soil, they will need worming. I've shared this video on my fb page urban quail keeping. I hope you get lots of views.

See the issue is some people have certain needs and sometimes keeping quail is a great idea. I know someone who has a few quail as pets and has breeding quail. If you have ever once used an animal for anything it is the same as using them to eat and sustain yourself. You can keep them like this if you like them like pets, or you can keep them like livestock or both. It's all a natural occurrence, i fail to believe that if a wolf could raise animals to eat that it would hunt.

@MrAviary 7 жыл бұрын

Your quails need space to forage and avoid each other so it depends on how many quails you have. I would say 0.5 m2 is the absolute minimum for a pair. My winter home is a little more than that and they do good in there but after 3 months I am glad I can put them outside again. They are so much happier outside in the bigger cage.

I feel like I'd be more able to manage a smaller bird 🤔 I've been looking into building a coop for quails and hated the idea of them being stuck in a small box all the time. I want them to feel like they are in nature but I want them protected from the weather and predators as I live in the country where we have raccoons and coyote.

U have build a beautiful coop and humanely kept these birds. Most people have kept them in cages like human prisoners.

Today my quails was angry on me they tried to escape I feel bad I have to upgrade the cage

@ac11dc110 7 жыл бұрын

Its too hot in summer also they dont love it

@MrAviary 7 жыл бұрын

Time to upgrade the cage with lots of shadow and possibilities to make it open for the wind to blow through. It is also good to provide enough fresh water during the hot summers.

These are button quail by the way :) they are slightly harder to keep the real quail.

@MrAviary 6 жыл бұрын

Officially they are King quails, which is the smallest species of true quail. they are often called chinese button quail which is indeed misleading because buttonquails (whic they are not) are an only very distantly related family of birds

@buttonquailgirl8386 6 жыл бұрын

then what is a Button quail?????

@MrAviary 6 жыл бұрын

Buttonquail or hemipodes are members of a small family of birds, Turnicidae, which resemble, but are unrelated to, the true quails of Phasianidae. As I said the name Chinese button quail is misleading. King quails is a species of Old World quail in the family Phasianidae.

It is the nicest video about quails I have seen on YT. Most of the other video's about quails are very, very cruel while they put the birdies in a small cage on WIRE!! Even the baby quails! So ugly!!

Do you know how to stop inbreeding

@MrAviary 5 жыл бұрын

Just don't put relatives together. Buy from different breeders, some breeders say it is a couple but often it is just brother and sister.

What if buying eggs

@MrAviary 5 жыл бұрын

@@heathergrimes782 I don't support buying eggs, because you don't now where they are from and i don't support incubating eggs (only as a last resort). It reduces breeding instict.
