Button Quails and Diamond Doves

[narai09]

Does anyone know of a specific breeder I may be able to obtain button qails or diamond doves from? Thanks.

Where do you live? I know of some in Oregon...

I live in VA but I can always settle for shipping. Thanks.

There are always a million diamond doves at the local Petsmart here. The manager told me she has never seen a "dumber" bird. She thinks the meaning "bird brain" came from them.

lemonypickett where exactly do you live? is it anywhere near nothern VA?

[lemonypickett]

I live in Massachusetts. The Petsmart that had them here had babies being hatched and raised in the food bowls!

Oh wow then these birds are pretty prolific breeders then.

[lemonypickett]

Yes, they did seem to be. Plus the manager said they were babies having babies. She was surprised this clutch I say lived. I went in again and say them a month later and they were still ok.

I noticed they pick at that orange ring around each others eyes alot. Ew!
