I have never seen birds like these. Awsome pics and all your pics together(except for those crawly and slithering things) to me are a Banner find. You found the real treasure...

 

[curious kat]

Austin....very nice of you to say that, thanks. And ...on the "creepy/slithering things"...I'll make sure & warn you when I post more of those.

CK, what is the second bird? Is it a type of quail? Nice pictures!

 

[Meadow]

You have some very pretty little birds! My favorite is the one (quail?) with the patchwork quilt coat. A coat of many colors, I guess.

vpnavy.....thanks little camera guy.

worldtalker....thank you, also love Nat Geo. Going to do their "Geno 2.0 DNA test", exciting!

texasred....it's the Gambel Quail, they are quite beautiful...& thanks!

Meadow...thank you....yes, they're (male) pretty colorful alright.

Cool Pictures! I used to raise exotic pheasants and always wanted to get a pair of those Gamble's Quail. They are quite beautiful, isn't it amazing the different colors that many birds have.

 

[curious kat]

and Thanks old digger. How neat you raised some of the "Gamble" (guess I misspelled it) quail. They're so skiddish...were yours? Or do they get "tamed"? Yes, amazing thing about the colors, lucky guys....poor'ol gals all drab & all. Hope you're doing well !

 

[old digger]

I never raised them, but always wanted to.

 

[curious kat]

old digger.... whoops! Sorry about that, I blame "sleepy eyes & brain". lol I remember you said you raised "pheasants", beautiful birds....were they caged or running around? Pictures? The quail might be a little "hyper" to raise maybe.

Pretty birds!!
I love the wildlife!
When I first moved here, we still had a few bald eagles... last time I saw one was about 3 yrs ago...
so much building going on everywhere, it is harder and harder to get good wildlife pics.
sometimes I see quail runnin' around along the roadside, and I always wonder where the owner is... I wish he'd keep his birds in safety!
