Nino's baby Mearns

It's been a rather busy week and I've got another busy week ahead. So before I get bogged down, I thought I'd write about my visit last week to Nino and Dimity's place (Welwyn Quails). I brought over a small box of mealworms for some of his precious babies (Mountain and Blue Scaled quails). The Blue Scaled were a lot more relaxed and I could appreciate their impressive colour better. It was a grey day and this pictures doesn't really show off their metalic blue chest.


The Mountain quail also looked really healthy and stunning.



I also met his baby Mearns. Nino said it didn't quite look any different from other quail chicks, but I swear I could see something different. The eyes and face area look quite large. Nino loved the pic I took of the baby Mearns and put it up on his web site...

I hope he survives as I'm sure he'll be a real stunner when he grows up.

Lovely pics Andoy!

Super photos Andy ..... those Mountain Quail are just the bees knees

Mountain Quail reminds me a lot of cockatiels. Only they are a much bigger bird (about the size of a pigeon) and their crest is tall and proud. They seem to be nice n'docile compared to Calis and Gambels.

They do look like their heads are too big and they're going to topple! Hehe, love the pictures, they're great

Great pics
