We DIDN’T order these birds. What’s in the box? 

Never give animals as a gift to someone that is not expecting them.

Actually this kinda cage is suitable for some small parrots. Quails actually prefer to live on the ground and they run fast. So try to provide horizontal space.

Those quail are gorgeous. When they started chirping, my 5 cockatiels were answering them.

Dude was way more polite about being given surprise pets than he had to be.

Quails actually have small heart attacks because of there size when they get stressed just to let you know there super delicate

Quail really need somewhere to take dust baths to stay healthy. They are also ground dwelling birds so height is not that important for them, floor space is more important. Otherwise a great cage :)

Their neighbors mad because they never got the birds they ordered

Aww that baby peeking through that little window at the birds was super precious

Imagine having such a complete family like these guys we love u

I just looked up quails and they do play dead! Omg that would scare the bejezuz out of me.

The little one is so anxious to hold one. I love the way you guys are raising your babies. Great parents.

Both of you have your hands full. Caring for children and animals. What a job that is. Bless both your heart's. I'm 63 and my husband is 66. We live in the city on acre and half. Grow massive amounts of vegetables. We have 4 cats and 12 chickens. It takes 2 hours minimum in the morning before I actually can start taking care of the garden. At the end of the day nothing like sitting back with a glass of wine. We also have a small vegetable stand in front of our house. Honor system. We actually have people that don't live in our neighborhood come to buy our vegetables. How nice is that. I could not imagine trying to care for the amount of animals you have. Great video. 👍

“Do you think I can move it across the yard?” “You got to, you’re the man” Beckys way of saying “well I’m not doing it” 😂

What a great example of being graciously honest in receiving a gift that is, at best, awkward. So glad you were able and willing to share the experience and provide a home for the birds.

What a beautiful family. I love that the children are as excited and caring about the animals as the parents. Great job mom and dad.

Love your kids! Their reactions are precious!

Quail need more of a horizontal cage, and not vertical. They are ground dwellers, and don't roost or perch. They would appreciate a long cage in length with plenty of places to hide, and appreciate being able to take a dust bath.

I had a bobwhite quail as a house pet for seven years and he was the best. He loved going on car rides and hanging out with me at work. He and my German shepherd were very bonded, he would follow her everywhere, they would play together, him pecking at her teeth, she mouthing at him, he loved to take 'dust baths' in her tail, he shared her food, got excited when she got excited and would sleep in her soft fur. He loved kids and was fearless in public. As to training, he did seem to know not to poop on furniture and was safe to have up on the bed or the sofa, where he loved to cuddle with his humans. Otherwise he was not house trained but that was not an issue because the dog cleaned up after him :P But he was not really trained, just himself. Very trusting though, you could lay him on his back in your hand and he would be quite happy to stay like that. The greatest evidence of his intelligence he ever showed was one Christmas. A day before Christmas I showed him, the dog and the cat each their wrapped presents and then put them back under the tree. The next day as I was opening up the dog's gift, the quail went to the tree, grabbed a corner of his present and dragged it to me, then looked up at me expectantly. I opened up his present, but he was not impressed with the stuffed animal inside lol I had thought he would like to have something soft to cuddle up to in his cage at night, but he did not like that plush dolphin at all. He never showed interest in presents again. I hand raised him from a chick and this is what made him so trusting. The dog loved helping me raise baby animals, and was very gentle with him when he was a tiny chick, not much bigger than a bumble bee :)

people need to have common sense! I was watching another channel on RU-vid, and some people just showed up at the youtuber's house!! I think people just think they get to know you so well that they really have no regard for your privacy or boundaries!

This is such a beautiful moment I am teary-eyed! Thanks so much for sharing!!!!

Those quail will appreciate more horizontal space. They need a couple of square feet per bird. They prefer to feed and nest on the ground

Crazy how people think sending animals randomly is a kind gesture lol

So glad you kept them ! Your viewers love you !

I added you to my list of subscriptions, not because I am so interested in raising birds, but because you are all such a beautiful family. Best wishes. I live by a river marsh , and I enjoy the wild birds, now so active in the spring.

In my experience with quail they shouldn't be kept in a vertical cage like that. Should be primarily length and with than height and they also don't really roost. They tend to dig little areas in their substrate to sleep. As for training I have no clue about that and I doubt you could really train them. Most mine does is eat from my hands so

I used to have quail and I found they really like taking dirt baths so sand would be really good to give them. Also they are ground birds so it might be better to give them a cage with lots of floor space. Your quail are very cute :)

Loved when your youngest was peeping into the Quail box. He looked so wowed 🤗🤗

Good advice. Always check with someone before sending them anything live, be it a plant or an animal.

I so wanted to send you some eggs from my guinea fowl but when you said no, I respected your wishes. Nice gift!

you have 3 kids, the quail weren't "sleeping" they are smart birds, it was playing dead it was stressed out.

What a beautiful family. Good Luck with everything you do!!

Its such a warm loving family that appreciates animal friendships n love animals. God bless your much 😙😙❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Who sends live animals to someone without informing them or even asking if it's ok? Seriously. I'm glad you took the time to talk about that because it's inconsiderate and irresponsible. Fortunately you had materials available for building a suitable enclosure.

Nice cages however quail are more ground birds then flight birds.

I’m sorry but I hate watching children hold animals, makes me feel so anxious. Especially small animals like birds, they’re so fragile😔 Edit: it’s just a pet peeve of mine, no hate to these kids. I’m sure they’re parents have talked to them about being gentle, etc

Very cool family! Thank you!

My grandma used to have quial, and I remember she told me that quails don't like bright light - they get stressed and aggressive towards each other, and the cage better be long and low.

Only training I did with my quail was whistling him to come to me. If Mango did come, he was rewarded with a juicy live meal worm or his favorite seeds. I agree with several comments here. They are primarily ground birds with decent flight abilities; love tall grass and being able to dive into a thick bush if they feel threaten. They love scratching in dirt, chasing each other and having sand baths. Your quail aren't full size yet, but they shouldn't get much bigger I think (your species is variant to what I had - Northern Bobwhite (which gets to the size of a large robin - but I think yours will be the size of small bantam chicken when fully grown but I could be wrong). Tennessee Red Quail have a tendency to be feistier and more aggressive than other quail species, especially if there are too many males and not enough females to go around - I recommend keeping them in pairs during the breeding season. They will need a spacious enclosure with a minimum of at least two square feet of floor space per bird. They cannot be raised in a mixed aviary with other species of birds or quail. Also quails can drown easily if given too much access to water, a shallow water source is best. An you should supplement their diet with produce and berries; bugs if you have access to them. With their feed to give them all their nutrients they need. Its nice that they sent you the birds (considering how much everything cost), but they should have reached out to you first before surprising you with live animals. Especially with all the shortages going on for supplies to build new enclosures, not to mention what you may need to care for them. Also just thought of this you may need a permit to keep them.

Very delighted to see your birds

I really enjoyed this journey with you! Thanks so much

Thanks for the Bamboo update. I might send a live bear. a live teddy bear.

Since I have been keeping quails I have noticed that they have this way of sleeping that makes them look like their dead it is really stressful because I have to keep checking if they are alive 😂

First time seeing this channel and family and it is such a pleasure watch. With all the other stuff going on this year has brought me down a dark path and this video brought me back to the light. Subscribed because I need more of this now.

You guys work so hard..God bless y'all ♥️♥️

Quail need a short long cage. They can actually get hurt trying to fly up. Might want to redesign cage by laying it on its side.

Aww nice video but I kinda feel like sending animals to someone without their permission is kinda like dropping your kids off by someone without asking first 🤦🏾‍♂️ it was a kind gesture tho

❤❤❤ yall have the most awesome life! Beautiful little kids

Amazing place lovely cute birds thanks

That’s messed up to send live animals without asking permission

I love these new birdies, I have several of them myself :) Although these little cutie pies are very ground oriented. While they can fly, they are the sort of birds that like to hide in bushes and stay low rather than flying up high. I had to keep them in a chicken house for a few days, and lo and behold, they were quietly sitting on the ground, totally ignoring the roosts. They also don't need nesting boxes! They are a bit longer domesticated than chickens and it is almost unheard of for quails to go broody. They will lay their eggs anywhere.

Wow You guys are very new.. Expanding out. Good luck and God Bless People Like you

All children should watch yr videos. Thanks 4 sharing yr farm life with us. GOD bless u & yr loved 1s with great health wealth happiness & wisdom. Then share it freely amen ♡.

“Quails are quiet birds” - The Internet Bobwhite quail: “ima end the internet’s career”.

They need horizontal space.

What an Amazing life you have given your boys. To grow-up with all these animals is an awesome experience!! You all have done an Awesome job for your animals & such a Fun Adventure for your family. Best of Luck for whatever comes your families way. 👍❤

50 guinea pigs are on the way to your house now. Lol

You and your family are angels... ❤️💙💚💛💜

Absolutely love your channel. Thank you for sharing your family and your journey. I am curious as to what the guinea-chicken birds look like now and what their personalities are like

These kids have the life! Napping in the yard and all that space to run around and play! I love it!

Such a talented couple. 🌷🌷

Who just thinks the family is the best.

i thought quail preferred more horizontal space than vertical?? they would be happier in a run probably

I always freak out when really young kids want to hold animals as sometimes they don’t understand how ‘gentle’ they are... RIP Kenny who was strangled to death by a 3 year old, I won’t name who.

I want to have a family like this one day, you guys put a tear in my eye.

If you ever want Japanese quails we have a ton of fertilized eggs year round 😊❤️

I have 3 different types of quail, they are ground birds, they don’t roost, usually are quite flighty. They also need a higher protein diet than chickens! So make sure you get them some good quail food or add extra protein in their diet. My smallest is button quail and they are the smallest quail in the world. They are the size of a chick fully grown, the chicks are the size of a marble, so delicate.

I enjoyed your video, I have a small farm with turkeys, chickens and quail. It's a labor of love that I throughly enjoy. I look forward to seeing more of your videos.

I’m from Dominican Republic living in Texas and This video was suggested to me and believe me when I tell you is the most beautiful thing I’ve seen today. For now I’m just sending my love to that beautiful family and before I send any gift I will let them know first

Just a suggestion.. can there be a live plant in that quail house .. since these birds are used to live wild in bushes! So that they feel more comfortable...

Unexpected birds.... uh oh

Love your videos! Greetings from Amsterdam!

Beautiful birds, for a beautiful family!!

The person who sent them must be going thru the comment section like 😦😊

I absolutely LOVE watching your videos! They way you care for your family and your animals is amazing! I love how you live off of what you grow and raise. This spring during quarantine, you inspired us to grow our own gardens. We live in the Chicago suburbs, so most of our "garden" is in large pots, but we've had so much luck with our crops. Thanks for your inspiration. Still would love to see how your garden is doing. Especially your bean tunnels. I've always wanted to do that.

Beautiful family GOD Bless you guys 🙏

Whenever I watch videos like yours feel me happy.Wish you all the best

I'm so glad you took the time to give us loyal watchers an update on Bamboo. I hope he continues to heal and get his feathers back. With or without them, he's still a beauty and we love him! 💜

Maybe add a dust bath to the bottom. Just a small box with some sand and they will love it. I can’t believe someone would just send you living animals in the mail without asking first. Blows my mind.

Awesome love seeing another family live off the land. I am not but I love seeing others do it and how they set things up using what they have.

Nice family buddy, congrats for what you have done!

Happy 1st anniversary! And thank you for bamboo update! He is my favorite bird in your farm 😊😊

Most quail are ground birds more apt to use a tractor type cage than a vertical

Love your channel, it's so cool watching everything!

In the UK all the quail I have seen are ground dwelling. Love the cage though! You could train them to target which gives a good basis for other things like turning in a circle etc. It would make it easy to move them around a space too.

I have quail, but you need to put sand and rocks at the bottom with hay in the corners

you guys are really living the dream. I can't imagine having the energy levels you all seem to have! I bet that's the healthy outdoor life rather than city life!

Beautiful family working and living well. Congratulations on your video. 👏 Great example.

I was holding interviews to place puppies in loving homes. A man showed up who may or may not have been drinking (pretty sure he was buzzed). He told me he hadn't seen his 6yr old son in a year. He wanted to surprise his son and ex with a puppy. I thanked him for his interest and told him I would call him with an answer. He wanted the puppy right then and there. Thats when I had to be straight with him. He wasn't getting the puppy... ever.

What a wonderful way for children to grow up!! I would have loved to grow up this way!!

Really yall? Dont send LIVE animals or eggs in the mail without the consent of the recipients... The recipient probably won't have the materials or time for the animals or eggs if not informed first... why would yall think that sending surprise animals or eggs is a good idea, you could be sending them to their death if the recipients are not informed that they should get the supplies necessary for the survival of the LIVE animals or eggs. Its childish, really childish and oblivious... I'm really holding back my anger and I'm not trying to be mean.... It's like yall think life is a fairytale, where everything is going to be ok and death cant possibly be real suffering cant possibly be real, again not trying to be mean here ... I'm sure THOUSANDS of people have probably lost their temper with yall but I will not let my emotions get the best of me, just trying to inform yall about how completely and utterly wrong yall were to do this. To - The people who sent LIVE animals/eggs without informing the recipients. ((Aka not the RU-vidrs in this video.)) Edit: lol I dont know what to reply to yall btw, so I thumbs up yalls replys :D have a good day!

Thanks for sharing your story of farming

really good videos you guys make i really appreciate the hard work.

Sending live animals to someone without their permission is a horrible and irresponsible behaviour that should not be encouraged!!! ( I bet they hatched the quails themselves because they thought it was cool and quail eggs are probably the easiest hatching eggs to come by. now they didn’t want to take care of them anymore and just send them to you...)

Quail need to be on the ground. that brooder actually alright for them! i like to keep my quail in a run while giving them a place to hide and lay.

It’s really cool to watch your family! I’ve always lived in town! My dream was raising my boys out on a piece of land with a small hobby farm. I wasn’t able to do that so hopefully when we retire we’ll be able to do it! So I absolutely love watching you and your children.

Such an awesome gift! I would be overjoyed to receive the quail! Love the hooked bill duck!
