Quails are small, ground-dwelling birds belonging to the family Phasianidae, commonly found in various habitats around the world, including grasslands, woodlands, and scrublands. Typically measuring between 5 to 10 inches (13 to 25 cm) in length, they have rounded bodies, short tails, and distinctive plump shapes.
Quails are known for their characteristic calls and often have intricate patterns in their plumage, which can vary in color depending on the species. They are social birds, often found in coveys, and are known for their swift, short flights when startled.
In addition to their ecological importance, quails are also raised for their meat and eggs, and some species, like the Bobwhite quail, are popular game birds. Due to their adaptability, they can thrive in both wild and domestic environments.
