Title: Any luck releasing Coturnix Quail?
Post by: Missouri Tiger on January 09, 2007, 03:39:57 PM

About everything you read on the topic says a group of Coturnix Quail can not live in the wild.  Has anyone out released any and had any success?

"Introducing" a new species into the wild is not a good idea.  :police:

Around this part of Missouri where I live, we call that feeding the wildlife~

Coturnix Quail are from the middle east. They were brought over here many years ago and selectivley bread for size and the wild has been bred out of them. Even if you had some from the wilds of the middle east, they would probably only survive in desert conditions.
