We discovered that about 17 baby quails had fallen in my neighbor's window well and were trapped; so we did a rescue mission. Too bad these little birds are kind of like lemmings because as soon as we got them out, they ran into the other neighbor's window well and were trapped because they had a grate on their's and we had to wait until they got home from work and could unlock it...which meant these little babies were in the window well trapped for several hours without their mom in about 90 degree weather. We are pretty sure the mom took the two babies that didn't fall in and left because we never saw her again.
*We did get the quails out of the second window well, but they died soon after :( I can say that we tried every effort though. We borrowed some baby chicken feed from some neighbors to try and feed them and called animal control, but they said they wouldn't come out and get them.
The kids leaning over the deck to look into the window well and see the baby quails.
