The State of Quail | Texas Parks & Wildlife

- Texas has long been known for its robust quail populations, but habitat loss has impacted all four quail species in the state. Though their homes range from desert floodplain and brush land to prairie grasslands, these quail species need native habitat to thrive. Find out how researchers, non-profits, and landowners and managers are working together to keep quail numbers healthy statewide.

Lots of fond memories of hearing Bob White quail chirping away at my father's place near Three Rivers many years ago. South Texas has a special place in my heart. I'm glad these folks and the land owners have got together to help these birds.
Thanks for the important help you all are providing for the future of quail
I love how fast their little legs move as they dash, they are such cute birds.
Thank you for what is being done for habitat for these birds. It's good to know there are people who care enough.
Kudos to the restoration team and to the landowners that are invested in these quail projects! May these efforts see numbers increase in time so that they are once again plentiful.
As I sit here in my home in East Texas, my heart shines with pride that many are caring for the wild life in our great state. My hats off to the scientist with green thumbs ..........
I was In Midland 2 years back working in the Permian basin and saw good numbers of gambails quail there i would say ya'lls work is paying off
Blue scaled quail in Northern Mexico (Chihuahua) are rare now
I've only seen two in the past three years
Thank you, Texas! Unlike my native Florida, you're doing what''s needed to save wildlife (Florida plants houses the way you plant prairie grasses). I'm so glad that I moved here - my buddy, Lyle, said it was alright!
I get to see Gambel quail everyday. They are the most amusing birds I know of.
Nice to see some one to take care of the birds.
I just love how their plumes stick through those crates. Quails are such little chatty birds.
I live in Dewey Arizona and we have blue quail everywhere out here, they are learning to thrive in suburban communities and i do all i can to support native wildlife of all kinds on my property. Just in my small yard which has a section of native habitat that was never touched when the house was built, we get deer, javelina, owls, hawks, quail, king snakes, toads, hummingbirds, butterflies and bees galore. Bird species are increasing as we increase the variety of food we put out. My yard isnt even an acre!

This was awesome great work
If you are a landowner, you must get involved in native grass restoration. That is want it will take to see a future for quail.
It's not only good for the quail but also it is needed to replenish the natural aquifers for fresh water and springs.
I have two different types of quail here on my property in Douglas Arizona, there are a lot of quail here! 🤗
Great video! I love looking earth, explore and meditate...

I hope they can get the numbers back. Northeast Texas needs then as well.
This is awesome!
Hey! That's my brother around 6:16!! :)
handsome fellow
David heft?
thats amazing! i hope they keep doing it now too, I wonder what the research says now
Thanck you ,were can l get plans for the live trap.
Bellezas de aves aqui en méxico tambien ahi muchas especies de codornices
The pesticides killing the bugs they eat have a huge impact. Lightning bugs and Bob whites were common as recently as the 1980s
What impact have fire ants had on Texas quail?
Are there some blue quail eggs available to raise and propagate?
Can they be kept on a farm?
sweet job.
Those quail that where released look lile the california quail
i released 2 doz Gambels 6 mi south of Sanderson saw em again 6 mos later but never again.
Good I love to hear them and watch a good bird dog hunt
do you need a permit to raise quail as pets in texas
Aqui no Brasil
and after 6 years how everything goes ?
Can you raise quail. And sell to texas parks wildlife, if so is it profitable to do so.
como poso consegui ovos dessa espécie
Cláudio Santos you cant

wooow this is the birds witch i love and i want to worke for that can some one helps me frome the park Texas parks and wild life thanks
go to your local texas wild life center. you can also join quail forever.
but sir im from afghanistan how i can apply for that thanks
Fire ants are the population reducing factor. Not just Urbanization. I love to see progress.
dang, that sucks. They (fire ants) are also an invasive non native species so that makes sense.
Our cat keep Killing birds and small animals in Georgia, but I was protective saves our birds live.
My dad, my brother and I have hunted blues and bobwhites from Hockley County to the NM border. We were Always taught to Never kill out a covey! But those lands have been leased out by people with way more money than cents/sense! If your paying big money to hunt for quail, your gonna shoot everything you see. Thus killing out covies that will never be back in that place. We always new that under this or that bush there would be a covey. It was that way for all the years we hunted together. I haven't seen blues in these parts for years. Big money hunters don't bring or buy ethical hunting that the old timers lived by. No on the ground skillet shots. If you can't flush them you don't shoot them. I have watched hunters in OK.,where my dad was from, and hunters from TX. with over and under shot guns and flush or their doge flush way too far from the hunters and then the full choke 12 ga. may reach out to get the long flyers. My dad hunted with a 20 ga. Browing auto. and consistently would kill 3 birds on a covey rise. Good dogs that hold and honor the points of the other dogs and we could always get the covey up from under feet. One way to help in the conservation of the 4 breeds talked about in this video is hunter knowledge of hunting practices and a few more Game Wardens to check the limits of hunters and fine them for over hunting. JMO Y'all!!
Wild Turkey population is why your quaill population is diminishing
Kenneth Underwood please elaborate
Kenneth Underwood that’s what I was thinking as well. Repopulating wont help if you don’t take care of their predators. But my heRt goes out to good people making the effort. Pray it works. Good luck to them.
Great job...... such cute birds must be banned for hunting .
Does anyone else have a buddy named Bob White? He gets so sick and tired of me calling Bob... WHITE! 😂
