Found these droppings in an aviary with 1 pair cordons and 1 pair silver king quails. Never seen them so big. Is this normal or could it be some other animal getting in? They're as round as my thumb.

Are the quail incubating? Most birds "save it up" whilst incubating so you get extra big bombs then.

Yep that must be it then. The turds did appear after the hen started sitting. Big bombs alright. Must have been a mega explosion. Thanks

Yeah definitely incubating or laying. When my chickens are laying they're the size of a small dog lol

Your King quail must be crossed with an emu, lol, I agree that they would be sitting, I have seen that before.
