During the Spring
many small baby quail are born.
Parent quail are very protective,
very alert to danger,
warning their babies of any
person or thing approaching.
When a high-pitched signal is given,
the babies run quickly
to the bushes for cover,
Except:
When there are bunnies about
who share fallen grain with them:
then the babies run to them.
