Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Free Quails (2 boys together, or separately if housed with other birds in an aviary)
My first attempt at incubating my quail eggs was a little unsuccessful in that I only managed to hatch out two boys! Unfortunately I can't keep them as the male:female ratio will be skewed and they'll all fight, so they are free to a good home.
The two boys (5 weeks old, almost fully grown) can live happily together if there's no girl quails to tempt them, or on their own with other birds (but not on their own entirely, they are social birds). They are flightless and so live happily in a rabbit hutch eating chicken food, or even on an aviary floor eating up the spilled seed.
To be honest I don't mind if they end up in a pot, but you'll need to collect them live and deal with them on your own!

But surely you have considered that your two boy quails may be gay and happy to live even in a rabbit hutch ? Have you observed them reading up about civil partnership or even applying for a marriage licence ? I quail to think of the possible complications!

Living the dream, I always wanted Quails for my family to collect
eggs, certain garden death...but more interesting for it.
I heard there was a Royal Goat Society, which was in aid of bringing
milk to Londoners back door, (over a hundred years ago.)
Keep us posted of the new lifestyle.
