The Bobwhite Quail is a small, ground-dwelling bird native to North America. It is known for its distinctive call, which sounds like "bob-white." These birds typically have a brown and white plumage, helping them blend into their grassland and shrubland habitats. They are social creatures, often found in coveys, which are groups that provide safety in numbers. Bobwhite Quail primarily feed on seeds, grains, and insects. They are important for the ecosystem as they help control insect populations and serve as prey for various predators. Their populations have declined in some areas due to habitat loss and changes in land use.
