Those quails sure have a voice befitting a vulture or something. They scared the Dickens out of me once at a agri-show.
Hadn't heard one before, walk past a cage, jumped nearly to the ceiling.

It is a lot of amplitude for a critter that is no bigger than a mouthful!

And best served with rice and gravy!!!!!! I remember picking buckshot out of them during dinner! LOL

With tweezers and binoculars? They are so tiny, yet so tasty....

I was 5 or 6 years old so it probably looked bigger to me!

Just things I notice of folks that want the life without excepting what it takes or deals out to you.

Around here, they have been building 'cities' that are coming closer and closer. Where it used to be 100 miles away, is now less then 10 miles away. They have passed laws limiting farm animals and forcing those who have them to get rid of them. I enjoy hearing the geese honk at pedestrians, the roosters crow at the break of dawn, the cows lowing, or the peacocks crying, the goats and sheep...

Years ago, it was common to see bobcats, coyotes, fox, javalina, wild turkeys, wild horse herds migrating through the fields and town streets. Now, you hear of the new 'cities' crying because their little fluffy got eaten by a predator in the middle of the night.

I'm very disgruntle about the encroachment of the concrete...

I think it is funny to watch the folks in our city get upset when the ducks and geese cross the street by the local (urban) duck pond. It is the same pond that everybody LOVES to take their children to on a warm summer Saturday, but they get all disgruntled when the the ducks act like ducks during the morning commute to the office.

My parent's house used to be in the middle of nowhere in a tiny village. Now, we are always seeing new developments being installed. I wish that my parents had more land to keep the folks at bay!
