Excerpt from The Avicultural Magazine, Vol. 5: November, 1898, to October, 1899The interesting letter of Mr. Seth-smith, describing the nesting of his Chinese Quails, induces me to record the successful rearing of a bevy of these charming little birds in one of my aviaries this summer.The cock bird is a very old one, and has wintered out for Several years (including the bitter Winter of in the East Riding of Yorkshire. The hen was kindly presented to me this spring, by Mr. Reginald Phillipps. When placed together, the little birds paired at once the cock holding any little tit-bit in his beak, with his head held on one side, uttering a low crooning sound until the hen ran up and took it from him.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
