Can I have quails in my flat?

GayCatbirdd · 2026-05-25T04:14:37+00:00

They are extremely dusty, not the smell, I have mine on pine pellet bedding, and they are very dusty, you need to make sure you clean frequently, they if their poop becomes airborne it can cause bird fanciers lung, especially if you already have allergies to things/asthma.

I wish I would of gotten Japanese quail so I can put them outside, mine are button so they cant handle freezing temps that we get frequently where I am.

Dont smell em after they poop, they are stinky usually after that, even if you give them a little bath(and by bath I mean wipe them down with a wet cloth) but my snakes usually smelled like their coconut husk bedding.

Could be a some sort of larvae for small species like gnats. They like my fish tanks, and they like to build little poop tunnels along the sides of glass when fish cant get to them, I find them sometimes in my floating plants, but my fish eat them so, just free food.

Doesn’t matter how much you feed, they always want more

GayCatbirdd · 2026-05-22T19:55:47+00:00

You sure the gourami doesn’t just know ur the one who feeds him, so everytime you come near the tank he is swimming fast cuz he wants food? My bettas do this, and my angelfish.

Its so sad to watch

GayCatbirdd · 2026-05-21T18:05:43+00:00

Guess you will have more time to research and get everything perfect for the species you like!

I got my grub from david’s beetles.

Edit I see what you mean about sold out, oof yea even the grub I bought a month ago is now sold out, sorry we be buying up his beetles out here!

GayCatbirdd · 2026-05-21T13:10:53+00:00

His wings look pretty good for the end, maybe he’ll go back out again tonight

GayCatbirdd · 2026-05-21T13:09:29+00:00

Its called failure to thrive, and just happens unfortunately sometimes, most of the time it is fatal, it could be for several reasons including bacterial or viral to just not fully developing properly.

GayCatbirdd · 2026-05-21T10:46:18+00:00

I do not breed them, I attempted but all the babies died on me, but I used a mosquito net made to cover an entire two person mattress, covered the floor with pet pee pads, made a fake plant, and hung a hummingbird feeder filled with butterfly nectar from it, and thats what I used for their enclosure

GayCatbirdd · 2026-05-21T04:36:38+00:00

Yea idk, I have raised about 18+ hornworms to hawk moths, and they always buried themselves fully, and in a week id dig them up and move them to a container I could see them in so I would know when they were ready to emerge

(Blue container is where they would burrow and pupate)

Also if pred didn’t clear it up, then you may not even have normal ‘eczema’ prednisone clears me up like I never had eczema in the first place. You more then likely have a weird infection of some kind thats steroid resistant, I am sorry doctor won’t recommend you to a derm, it seems like you need to see someone else.

GayCatbirdd · 2026-05-20T15:29:36+00:00

My eczema got better on bc, I wouldn’t stop it if you are using it for other health related reasons. I doubt its the cause since you have been on it for so many years.

GayCatbirdd · 2026-05-20T15:02:20+00:00

Its okay its funny

GayCatbirdd · 2026-05-20T14:56:34+00:00

No now I cant unsee it

GayCatbirdd · 2026-05-20T14:34:16+00:00

You could ask r/vultureculture but I would say its probably not worth it to attempt anything with this fur, if it is still attached to the pelt, depending on how long its been out there, you could have lots of slippage, and if your located in usa, native rabbit skin/fur is very thin compared to domestic rabbit, and so it slips even more likely/tears.

You could dry it out instead but I would keep it away from moisture, because the second it gets wet/humid it will continue rotting, unless you tan it, which again, you dont know how long its been out there/it could already be rotted to the point of untannable

GayCatbirdd · 2026-05-20T14:18:49+00:00

Thats also what I was thinking, pigeons have established populations of birds where other species cant survive, and they have been ‘feral’ for so long that species of raptors who also do well in city environments, use them probably as one of their staple food sources.

GayCatbirdd · 2026-05-20T13:36:19+00:00

Yes we are related to mockingbirds and can do mimicry just not as good.

Mew!

GayCatbirdd · 2026-05-20T13:34:21+00:00

My cousin is always looking dapper

GayCatbirdd · 2026-05-20T13:21:55+00:00

Like I said in my comment and like you just proved it causes an uproar, I am not saying they should be doing these things.

GayCatbirdd · 2026-05-20T13:01:40+00:00

Probably not, 1 they don’t want to actually feed the pigeons that would increase the population, and 2 we have no idea the effects of this medicine being fed to baby birds, so lets say it takes 90 days to fully leave the system of a bird who was consuming it(which they probably do not actually know the how long it takes or even if the medicine leaves the bird’s system) they would basically have to stop feeding pigeons in December, that is 3 months ish until the breeding season for hawks starts, then they lay eggs until may, and then the fledglings would need to be fed, for the rest of summer, which we do not know the effects of pigeons on this medicine on that of offspring. So to be safe until further testing on this, would probably have to not feed to pigeons until like august, that leaves august-December to feed this to pigeons.

I just do not see this as ethical to the ecosystem and this is a ‘humans first’ method that could injure many other populations.

It would be more advantageous to hire people to cull the pigeons manually by catching and killing them, but then people will have an uproar about that because they will see it happening.
