Oh shame man, I can imagine that must scare them, they would be easy pickings for a bird of prey out in the open. I've always liked quails, but I've heard they are difficult to keep compared to bigger birds, so I never had any when I had my aviary. I'm somewhat sad about that now, I doubt I'll have the opportunity again 😕

I've always found them very easy to keep. Although the Japanese quails, which we currently have, aren't long lived (3-5 years). I have them in a large run with approximately 8ft fences and the aviary wire also covers the top. They could fly over that height if really startled, but they rarely reach the roof even then. We used to have some bob white quails when we just had the aviary. They flew even better! 😅
