yay! Im so excited.... I have finally got a hold of one of three breeders up here and im of to get some more female tomorrow afternoon
ok so what I need is some advice on how to introduce the new females to the pair (Micky and Mallory) I have in the main aviary? im thinking of getting atleast 2 maybe 3 more females to put in there so its not just one that can get picked on.. is this a good idea? this aviary is one of the large ones from bunnings so about 1m (w) x 4.5m (l) and 2m (h)
And Im going to get 2 to go in with my male (Kingy) in the gouldians cage wich is about about a 1m (l) x 75cm (W) and 2m (H) is that ok??
please help i need as much info as i can get asap so i dont end up with to many females or major fights on my hands
Thank you
introducing new quails?????

well we got 2 new female todayand put one in each cage.... Micky and Mallory didnt really like their female so I removed them and swaped kingy into the big aviary with both of the new females which i think is going to work so much better since kingy is much more placid i think he will be a better dad
hopefully i will get some little baby quails soon as i have seen Mallory doing some odd moves like she is getting ready to pop out an eggs so i will be watching over the next few days with fingers crossed

King quail generally do best in pairs. But some are ok in trios. The smaller of your avairys is definately not suitable for more than a pair. I would only put a pair in the larger avairy myself but as you have a trio in the larger avairy now see how things go. Good luck.
