The distribution of wild quail is very wide - almost the entire territory of Eurasia, North and South Africa. Quail is the only true migratory species among our chickens. Only in South Africa and Madagascar does it lead a sedentary lifestyle. In the spring, quail arrive at the nesting sites among the last migratory birds — in April-May, and in the north of the range even in June.

The life of quails in a thick grass cover left an impression on the appearance and habits of these birds. The top of the quail is yellowish-brown with light and dark spots, the belly is yellowish-white. The coloring of the quail is clearly camouflage - it is almost impossible to notice it on the ground. The male has elongated brown neck feathers and a dark brown breast. In females, the feathers on the neck are lighter, and the chest is gray with black spots. In addition, adult males have a darker beak than females, and a pink gland is clearly visible above the cloaca. When pressed, a white foamy secret is released. In females, the cloacal gland is absent, and the skin around the cloaca has a darker shade.

Wild quail leads an exclusively terrestrial lifestyle and almost never takes to the wing, preferring to quickly flee from enemies or hide from them in thick and tall vegetation. A grass cover for quails is a reliable protection against feathered predators. They try not to leave these places even for a short time. The quail flies very fast and low above the ground, often flapping its wings and planning before landing. When foraging, it digs into the ground, scattering and raking it with its beak and legs, and willingly bathes in dust. Quail does not sit on trees.

They are usually small plump land birds that feed on seeds, but sometimes prey on insects and similar small animals. They nest on the ground and are usually capable of only short flights, but some species, such as the common and Japanese quail, are migratory and capable of covering long distances. Many species are cultivated by humans, especially the Japanese quail, which can lay a large number of eggs. The branch of poultry farming, which is engaged in raising quails, is called quail farming.
