How do I deter quail?
I am having an awful time with quail eating my garden, dusting themselves and making big holes by my plants. I have already lost 2 pepper plants, carrots and radish. I am also tired of them digging their big dusting holes throughout the rest of the garden. Any suggestions on how to get rid of them would be greatly appreciated. Is there some type of plants or sprays that they don't like? I know with the population that is here, I could have my freezer well stocked! 
Hmmmm.......pssssst............anyone wanna buy some cornish hens?

Sure !! they'll work. Now, how does one convince an owl to take up residence in the back yard ?? i geuss you could build a barn....I don't know. I do know that cats will live anywhere near kibble.
I payed attention in High school....But I didn't need too .

No one in this area has outdoor cats because of the owls and hawks that are here, so that shoots down that idea.

Fun fact, I heard quail mate for life.
I think they're cute with that goofy thing on their heads.
Try putting chicken wire around your plants, Or you could place rose branches all around in your garden. ??

If you want quail but don't want them in your garden put out some seeds around a tree that is not very close to the garden and they will go there instead. If they still don't stop you should get a Finish Spitz they are bird dogs, i have one all the way from Nakusp. Once I trapped them in a cardboard box rigged as a trap. It worked well.
...and there you are, problem solved by my 10 year old.
The adventure continues...

perhaps leave some other things out to like garbage and food for the rest of the wildlife. smart idea
