FalconFN Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 It's pale, looks frail, could be male, possibly blown over by a gale, no idea what it is though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotslad Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Wot size is it? To me just looks like a strange coloured 'bohemian' hen pheasant with no tail. But it may be far smaller than that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dasher Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Looks like a Japanese quail, which are bread for meet and eggs in this country, so I would guess an escapee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your rhyme is fine but no clue you know meanwhile brown bird nameless and homeless remains by my door by its own volition no west blow why did it choose us perhaps young, its aim to grow perhaps a name or a feed of grain its crop to bloat perhaps it's time to get me coat !

old'un Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Its defiantly an escapee, they are sometimes kept as pets in small cages on the lawn, a lady up the road from me used to keep them. Japanese and Californian Quail are widely bred and sold in this country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
