We have quail, very funny birds as while they can fly they prefer to walk. When scared they will lift off about ten feet up and fly maybe 100 feet. A friend of ours years ago said you can't hunt them as you are likely to kill your dogs.
A few days ago we saw babies! Mom had about a dozen out, certainly for the first day. The babies were literally as big as the thumbnail joint on your hand. But they were running around screaming at Mom to feed them. Days later they had doubled in size; Mom must be a good cook.
