What is a quail?

The term "quail" is used to indicate two clearly different, albeit related groups of birds in the order of galliformes. The quail of the Old World is in the family of pheasants, while birds from the New World are in the family Odontophoridae. While the birds may look superficial similarly, they are genetically completely different by the fact; The reason why the name is used to discuss both groups is that the early colonists were not terribly qualified in identifying wild animals and tending to use old world conditions again than to come up with more specific names for the new world.

The old world is relatively small, plump, migration birds. Most of them have been in the coturnix genus and have been hunted as birds for centuries. Because of their small size, the quail is time -consuming to prepare, but many consumers think that the preparation is worth a fine taste of well -prepared meat. As a result, some species are domesticated and maintained on the farm purposeEM ensuring constant supply of meat and eggs, other delicacies.

European quail nest on Earth, despite the fact that they are capable of flight, and birds eat a diet that is primarily composed of seeds. Their name comes from Latin Coacula , imitating the sound of their crying and generally have spotted feathers, short tails and short necks with rounded heads. Like many creatures in Galliformes, Křepelka is not known for its optic intelligence, and in captivity it is known to drown by accident, hit the walls and injured themselves in other strange dusts.

Quail New World is smaller than their old world names and are strictly earthly. Birds prefer to walk and run for flight only when they feel they have no other option. This is for some people a source of amusement regularly communicate with them because birds will run faster and faster from the pursuit, furiously swinging their headsBefore they finally flutter into nearby shrubs and trees.

These quails are also persecuted as gaming birds, with many hunters enjoying meat when it is in the season. Because birds are so small, people usually require several to fill, and birds can be invented or presented in other creative ways to use the limited amount of tender, dark meat as much as possible.
