Quail
Quail We have two species of quail in New Zealand, the bobwhite quail and the California quail, with the latter the most common.
California quail were introduced to Nelson in 1865 and after a stuttering start they flourished and spread throughout New Zealand. Populations of quail became so large that thousands of birds were canned and exported to England. They are powerful short-distance fliers that can glide for long stretches. They are more common in drier areas and prefer scrub, pine trees and riverbed vegetation.
