Emmy 528 Report post Posted May 6, 2014 Bee, I honestly have no idea if that could happen but what would maybe excite them is how quickly the cpq's move. Have a look at this short video clip I took tonight of the cpq chicks just before I removed them from the brooder. I have to transfer them into another box to let me get the brooder cleaned. They're back in again and settled down fort he night. The 2 adult cpq that I have in the outside flight just do their own thing and the canaries and the finches don't bother them at all. But there's both sexes of finches flying about. Emmy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gu53bee 3 Report post Posted May 7, 2014 How lovely! My zebs are getting used to dogs running past, the parrot shouting, barking and singing 'always look on the bright side of life', so I think they'll get used to the quail. I'm supposed to be waiting until my birthday next month....we'll see Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gu53bee 3 Report post Posted May 10, 2014 Off topic, but just had to share..... My family are just getting used to my zebs , peeping away in the living room. We're off to look at Chinese painted quails tomorrow. The police have just knocked us awake at 4am, to say....there are 13 cows in your front garden!!! I woke my family and told them that since we might be getting our own quail eggs soon....I thought it might be nice to have fresh milk too. Lol lol lol...3 teens stunned into silence at 4 in the morning! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emmy 528 Report post Posted May 10, 2014 Bee That's really funny but guess it wasn't at 4am though. That's one photograph worth keeping One thing for certain if you gave the police a coffee you definitely wouldn't have run short of milk I can just imagine the look that would be on your children's faces. Did it take long to get the cows back into their own quarters? Emmy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gu53bee 3 Report post Posted May 10, 2014 Oh no, it was hilarious even at 4 in the morning. My boys and hubby went back to bed, but I made a pot of tea and my daughter and I sat and watched. It took 2 hours for the farmer, 4 farm hands and 2 policemen to round them up and load half of them into a truck, then come back for the other half. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gu53bee 3 Report post Posted May 11, 2014 Oooo clare....look closer! And as for 2 hours, most of that was either a policeman, or a farm hand, wandering around the corner, counting them and then going again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
