Welp, I know the eggs are not likely fertilized.
The female quail that was broody left the nestbox to stretch her legs, but decided she wanted to mate and was giving all the cues, body and head held low, scraping beak across ground while making low peeps... Though the male was clueless.
He knew he had to do SOMETHING, though he had no idea what so he either walked over her, causing her to do agitated peeps at him, or try and climb over her but slip and fall off. She was getting so frustrated she was jumping around the cage chasing him to the spot she wanted to mate at and doing the display again, until all the frustration amounted together to the point she about jumped into orbit, scaring the doves perched above them before landing back down.

Baby Quail News!
Me and my dad started doubting that the eggs were fertile as the days were ticked on, but we were proved wrong! I was so scared at first when I saw the eggshells scattered about the cage, thinking Speckles struck again, as she tends to eat eggs and ate one yesterday... But NOPE, I heard little peeps and saw there was babies shuffling about under mama Fluffy! Around 3 or 4 little peepers, and possibly more hatching.
Rex, the father, is super exited over them and keeps picking up the egg shells and trotting about showing them off while doing exited peeps, and Fluffy is keeping the babies nice and warm under herself, and Speckles seems very int
Blueberries and Quails
When I read that quails enjoyed blueberries, I gave them some... And they do not enjoy Blueberries... THEY LOVE THEM! And go INSANE for them! XD I gave some to my quails and not even the shy one hesitates in taking the blueberries from my hand, while she is normally a bit hesitant with taking their mealworms from me. I cut them into halves so they can get to the juicy bit better, and it is funny to watch the two females squabble over a piece while the male helplessly peeps at the food bowl with the other halves, with a berry half in his beak to try and call them over. XP
My doves just look at the blueberry halves like "What the hell is this?
EPIC Double Remix
Soooo... I was listening to some Cave Story remixes and I grew curious how well two of them would go together...
I will just say one word: Epic
BEST. DAY. EVER!
So... Today I got out my camera thinking "I'll just keep this out just in case I see anything."
I am so glad that I did!
I was taking some photos of the hoverflies, trying to catch one flying... And succeeded beyond my own expectations:
I then heard a frantic buzzing noise behind me and watched this unfold:
Which was amazing! Though the yellow jacket was not that amused by it and tried to attack me after it finished eating... But I escaped unstinged! =D
Then as I was walking to the bus stop... As if the day couldn't get any better... This beauty landed pretty much right next to me.
So yeah... BEST. DAY. EVER!
