Jumbo Wisconsin Bobwhite Quail are very traditional-looking American game birds. Although their patterned feathering of rusty browns, tans, and grays are meant to help conceal them in the woodland undergrowth, these are striking birds. Males have a bolder patterning of bright white stripes and darker brown facial markings. Females are more subdued but are very attractive birds.

Bobwhite Quail have become accustomed to human dwellings and farms. Many have naturalized after being released by sporting clubs. They are naturally ground-dwelling and inhabit mostly overgrown meadows, woodland edges, and unused pastures.

Although these birds are hardy and will do fine in most areas of the country and most weather conditions, standard protection from extreme elements as well as predators is necessary. Their enclosure should provide shelter as well as a covering as these birds will fly out. Although quail do naturally live in large social groups or coveys, be sure to provide plenty of room as they do become very stressed if overcrowded.
