The quail is a member of the chicken-shaped bird family known as galliformes. This also includes, chickens, pheasants, grouse & such. In fact, quails have much the same habits as chickens. These should be examined well, if a quail has flown into your life.
Because they are considered good eating, they have come to be associated with nourishment in many areas. Their frenzied mating antics though have also earned them a reputation for sexuality & fertility. In ancient Greece, they were consdiered a symbol of the return of Spring.
The bob-white is a member of the quail family which speaks its name. This distinctive call has been associated with the mysticism of names. It is a bird which can help you learn your soul name, the name that stays with you lifetime after lifetime. It has knowledge of the power of names and the naming process. Hearing the sound of the qauil during the first week before or after the birth of a child can reflect you have chosen the most beneficial name for that child.
Qualis live in groups called bevies. In cold weather, they will often nestle together to stay warm. They will often sit in a tight circle on the ground, tails together in the center, their heads facing outer rim of the ring. The appear like the spokes in a wheel. This posture enables them to fly in all directions to confuse a predator when they are threatened.
The quail has a wonderful ability to easily spot danger. It takes off with a loud explosion. This startles the predator, distracting it and enabling them to escape. Quail can teach you to be mindful of dangers and how to explode to safety when threatened. It teaches how not to hesitate during times of crises.
