As the quail eggs have been hatching
recently, the 3 surviving birds from the last batch of eggs in May to be
hatched have had to be moved to make way for the new chicks. I moved them last
night to the quail aviary.
I have ringed the 3 birds so that we will
be able to differentiate them from those hatched last year once they are fully
grown. I was a bit nervous about the move as last year, I saw how vicious the
males could be to each other. Would the colony accept new arrivals?
I had nothing to fear. This morning when I
fed them I found there had been no fights. All the birds were quite settled.
