LMAO! This is classic. I loved making that Gif and this is the purrrfect response.

I got my quail yesterday and will be posting pics of them and Ruby Dee and Rose (nylund) later. My Ruby and Rose are just pissed they have to share their cage. Speaking of which, I am going need a bigger one quick. I didn't expect to get 26 quail yesterday, nor ones almost full grown. Jeeze!

Glad you enjoyed it :) You got your quail fast! Are they the Japanese ones?

I am going need a bigger one quick.

Umm, I think you're right. I didn't think it would be nice to link you to it, but when I was googling "zombie quail" I came across a real-life story about the results of overcrowding them D:

Yeppers, I was hoping to get them Monday, but the guy was only here on Tuesdays and Thursdays. They are the Coturnix Japonica, aka Japanese Quail. People call them Coturnix here. My old Ag teacher called them what they used to be commonly referred to, Japanese Quail. So, I call them that. Coturnix is the family of quail the Japanese in. It's like calling U.S. citizens americans, we are only one breed of the american family. but the best known.

Let me guess, they started to eat each other. Pigs do it all the time. Wouldn't surprise me if the quail got a little zombietastic.
