When the quails first arrived Year 3 went \u2018all out\u2019 to research into finding the answers to the many questions they had about these teeny little birds. They found out lots of interesting facts. \u00a0Here are some of the answers to the questions we asked:<\/p>\n

* Quails only fly when they are frightened.<\/p>\n

* They eat seeds and grass. They like to eat green things, and many are vegetarian. However some quails do like to eat insects and worms.<\/p>\n

* Some Californian quails are blue and red.<\/p>\n

* Male quails sing to attract their girlfriends.<\/p>\n

* Quails hover like helicopters.<\/p>\n

* The spots on a quail egg camouflage them to keep them safe. Yet some quail eggs are actually blue.<\/p>\n

* 3 quail eggs is equal to 1 chicken egg.<\/p>\n

* Ancient Egyptians loved eating quails.<\/p>\n

* Quails like to live in green places\u00a0and to have things to peck.<\/p>\n

When the quails eggs first\u00a0started to hatch, the children came into class to find them running around all over the incubator…it was awesome surprise! Throughout the day children came to greet the new baby quails to our world and the great \u2018hatch\u2019 Operation Quail began. \u00a0A new home was quickly built and put in place by Mrs Stef and Miss Alison. Together with old cut-up Provo Primary T-shirts (to prepare for them for when the children would start picking them up!) and a special infra red lamp, the chicks were placed in their safe new cosy home.<\/p>\n

It really has been quite an amazing adventure to have the quails in our classroom. Let\u2019s see how the adventure progresses!<\/p>\n
