Tiny Fuzzballs, Surprisingly Capable

Tiny Fuzzballs, Surprisingly Capable

Hey Everyone,

I saw some quail in the yard this morning and they had a baby running behind them. It’s a great time of year when we get to watch these little fuzzballs run around so frantically.

Today surprised me though.

The parents suddenly flew off… but so did the baby! I had no idea they could fly so early on.

A few fun baby quail facts:
• They hatch covered in down with their eyes open
• They can walk and run within hours of hatching
• They usually leave the nest the same day they hatch
• They begin making short flights in about 1–2 weeks and get stronger quickly after that
• Quail families stay together and those babies learn fast by following the adults everywhere

Nature doesn’t waste much time.

Meanwhile, I’m still trying to fully function before my second cup of coffee.

Have a great weekend!
