The California Quail (Callipepla californica)
is a member of the Phasianidae family which consists of 
partridges, grouse, turkeys and quail. It is similar
to the Gambel's Quail except it has a brown crown, buff forehead
and does not have the black patch on the belly. It is a small,
plump bird about 10 inches long.
This bird is found in suburbs, woodlands,
parks and foothills in California's live-oak canyons. Also found
in southern Oregon south to Baja. The nest is a shallow, grass-lined
depression. There are from 11 to 15 buff-colored eggs spotted
with brown.
This little California Quail is
only 6 inches long. Wild Republic, maker of these birds, has
joined hands with the National Audubon Society to empower its
new line of birds. Each bird's lifelike design and detailing
is the result of input from Audubon.
Additionally the sounds in this toy is
an authentic California Quail provided by The Cornell
Lab of Ornithology and represents hours, months, even years of
in-the-field work conducted by expert recordists. Wild Republic's
affiliation with these two bird organizations emphasizes its
commitment to nature conservation.
