The Gambel Quail is one of the symbols of the old west - they go hand in hand with tumbleweeds! Gambel Quail have the characteristic black comma-like plume on their heads and blue and chestnut colorations. The call of the Gambel Quail is a common sound effect in Western Movies. The males are more flashy in coloration, but the females also have the comma-like plume. They are just a bit more understated in their coloring. Gambel Quail and California Quail are quite similar and hard to distinguish at a distance. They are one of the six North American species of quail, all of which are plump little ground-dwelling birds that despite generations of breeding in captivity are still not quite fully domesticated. These Quail form large coveys or flocks in Autumn and stay as a group all winter. They tend to run to brush if startled and are amazingly quick runners. They forage at dusk and dawn and rest during the midday heat. Incubation Period is 21-23 days
