Types of Quails Around the World

Please click SUBSCRIBE to this channel.
Thank you.
There are around 20 different types of wild quail found around the world and around 70 domestic breeds. Domestic quail behave very similarly to wild quail, although they seem to have lost some, or all, of their migratory instincts.
Quail can be found living in grassy fields, cropland, and meadow habitats. Wild Japanese quail live in East Asia, Russia and parts of Africa, and some populations migrate. They feed mainly on grass seeds, but also eat small insects. Quail live on the ground: foraging, nesting and sleeping in the grass. They dust-bathe regularly to clean their feathers.
When in danger, quail fly up rapidly to avoid a predator but drop back into the grass a few dozen yards away. However, their first reaction to danger is usually to hide in the vegetation. Their elusive lifestyle means they are more often heard than seen; in fact, they have quite distinctive calls.
In the winter, quail usually live in large groups but in the breeding season, during warmer months, many quail will be found living in breeding pairs. Hens lay their eggs on the ground in simple nests made out of dry grass.

I believe you are referring to Hemipodes (Hemipodes meaning half foot, referring to them having three toes, lacking the forth at the back). Hemipodes are wrongly called in common name as Button "quails" there not quails. Personally i call the birds in the Hemipodes kin in common name, Ground creepers. Ground creepers are more related to the wading bird kin, than to quails that are in the land fowl kin.
