The Coturnix, also known as the Common Quail (Coturnix coturnix), is a fascinating bird species that captivates with its unique characteristics. With its beautifully handcoloured copperplate engraving by William Hayes from Portraits of Rare and Curious Birds, this illustration showcases the exquisite details of these avian creatures. In addition to the Common Quail, there are other notable members of the Coturnix family. The Blue Breasted Quail (Coturnix chinensis) and Chinese Quail (Tetrao chinensis) add diversity to this group. A colour lithograph featuring Pigeons and Quails further highlights their vibrant plumage. Amongst these quails, we have the Rain Quail (Coturnix coromandelica) accompanied by its red-legged counterpart. These birds possess an enchanting allure that is captured in Picture No. 11051310, Picture No. 11051311, Picture No. 11051309, Picture No. 11013617, and Picture No. 10752409. Comparatively smaller than domestic chickens but equally intriguing are their eggs showcased in Suffolk's grassland scenery during May in England. This size comparison between Domestic Chicken and Common Quail eggs provides insight into their distinctiveness. As we delve deeper into understanding the Coturnix coturnix or common quail species itself; it becomes evident why they have fascinated naturalists for centuries - their beauty knows no bounds.
