[edit] Image?

Can we not find any actual photographs of quails without copyrights?

There are a few here and here. I don't really see what's wrong with the current image, though. -- Visviva 15:49, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fly?

To what extent do these 'terrestrial birds' fly? Do quail hunters shoot them on the ground or in the air? ike9898 13:25, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cheney

Not only is the Cheney bit irrelevant, but he would have a hard time finding Old World quail in the US. jimfbleak 07:43, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] rrr

We need a real picture here!

I need WAY more information here

[edit] bevy

Can someone explain why my last edit was reverted? A flock of quails is called a bevy. That is a fact. --HappyDog 15:27, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

There are two problems with this - "flock" and "covey" are much more common for any game bird, and whilst "bevy" may be used for the Common Quail, I think it would need a citation that it is used even as an alternative for all the world's quail species. Jimfbleak.talk.15:52, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Quailman

... is notable.
