We call them covey here in America, Sandra. They have a call much like the loon. We can often hear them at night
in the summer, where I live. I love hearing their call.
I didn't see any nits or spags. Well done. Nancy:)

Thank you, Nancy. Now I understand what another reviewer said about them being loons. How are your eyes today? I hope they get a lot better soon. Thanks for the lovely review, my friend. :)) Sandra xxx

My eyes are really bad. It is all I can do to answer all the reviews and do reviewing too. I don't know which is most important, but I try to do reviewing first while they are fresh and then answer my reviews. Yesterday it caught up with me.

I think everyone would understand if you posted a poem but couldn't answer the reviews. There are a few on here who do that. You just take care, my friend. xxx
-
Yes and there are a few who never review you although you review them faithfully. I often wonder if they review other people or just consider themselves above everyone else. LOL xxx N:)

I know what you mean. Never mind, we'll review each other! LOL. :))
Comment from Jeffrey L. Michaux
I like what you've penned here about quail. I had no idea that their were some of them that eat poisonous seeds that if the bird is consumed that they're harmful to humans. I guess that it makes sense though. I've watched them walking fast on the ground. Thanks for sharing this informative and well written work. Well done!

Thank you so much, Jeffrey, for reading and reviewing this one. I was surprised to find so much interesting things out about them. It was worth the research. I'm glad you enjoyed reading about them. Have a lovely day, my friend. :)) Sandra xx
Comment from Pantygynt
Yes indeed the Captain of W.S.Gilbert's HMS Pinafore was
'never known to quail at the fury of the gale
and I'm never, never sick at sea!
A friend once gave me a clutch of qyail's eggs (tiny things) as a birthday present. They didn't taste much different from hen's eggs just less satisfying, that's all.
Another excellent and informative piece of writing.

I'm never sick at sea, either, in fact I always wanted to be a sailor, it's in my blood, all my family were sailors. We had quails eggs at a dinner party, many years ago, they were a nice 'talking' feature, but nothing more. Thanks, Jim, I do appreciate your reviews and the six stars. I'm glad you liked it. :)) Sandra xx
Comment from Mistydawn
I guess eating the position seeds was a way for the old world quail to get revenge. They'll haunt you from their grave, lol. It's so sweet the way they mate for life, help each other with life's chores. Your chapter is very well-written, interesting start to finish. You taught me a lot today, like always.

I like that thought, lol, and why wouldn't they? I liked the way they stayed together, and although the scientists say they have little or no brain, they do have morals and stay with their family. That has to be worth something. Thank you, my friend, for another of your lovely reviews. Have a lovely week. :)) Sandra xx
Comment from rspoet
Hello Sandra,
I like the peaceful quail as a choice for your "Q" poem.
Mostly quiet as a quail, when not screeching at their neighbors.
Quails are non-political birds unlike roosters and crows
who are always crowing or cawing and strutting about,
that's why quails shrink back from all the hubbub and the loonies.
(sun-quail-many water = loonies)
One suggestion: They have a plume [atop] their head
To eliminate repeating 'upon'.
Well done.
Have a great safe day.
Robert

Thank you, Robert, I've changed it now to 'atop' thank you for that.
I see you have studied Egyptian hieroglyphics! LOL. Well done!! I was going to work out how my name was spelt and after a while, I gave up. I've got an 'end of day' brain. :(
Thank you so much for the six stars, my friend, and another fun and helpful review. It's always a nice review to read, and I really appreciate you. Have a wonderful week, my friend. :)) Sandra xx
