Aussie Finch Forum

A little after 6 this morning, I found six lifeless quail chicks.
They hatched yesterday, and had apparently been frightened in the night, as they had scattered in various directions from the nest.

They were cold, so I brought them in to warm them.
The kids were fascinated, watching them twitch, then breathe, then open their eyes.
When they were able to cheep we gave them some spark,
and within half an hour they were following their Mum around again (bar one who was quietly put down as it was injured).

that's awesome

Awww well done on getting them up and running . Good to see kids interacting with them.

Yes very nice to see the kids taking such an interest in them. Now do you realise that as the kids brought these babies back to life those particular quail may become permanent residents!

Whoops, I hadn't thought of that, BB.

Well done, it is a nice feeling when you can bring them back to life as it were. The kids did a great job too!

Congratulations to you and the kids. You have the right attitude there, get the kids into birds young.
