Distribution

American middle eastern district, Mexico

I am imported for a hunting purpose and breeding to Japan and am told that a thing shot for the training of the hunting dog became a wild animal. I am confirmed in Kanagawa and Osaka and am more likely to colonize now in Kanagawa. I settle in the Dominican Republic, Haiti, the U.K., the New Zealand any place other than Japan [¹].

It is one size bigger than 20-25cm in total length and a quail. A chest, the stomach are dark reddish-brown from a back, and the relationship of the feather is white or black. As for the male, sum and root of the bill, for eyes retainer are black, and a throat, the eyebrows spot are white, but the female is light yellow. I am separated by 21 subspecies, and the size grows big as a northern thing. Bob-white and hearing, the fame are derived from the cry.

Habits

At the place of origin, I inhabit a forest and farmland, grassland, the ranches which opened out such as pine woods. Other than the seed of the plants such as an acorn and a thistle, the foxtail, I eat cereals such as wheat or the corn by the farmland. June is the breeding golden age, and Insecta becomes the important bait in the breeding season from April. I spread dry grass in the hollow of the ground and make a nest. The number of one laying eggs is approximately 10-15.
