Our native quail Koreke was extinct by 1875, having met a dramatic decline through the introduction of cats, rats, along side sport hunting. The Look Out is a California or Sentinel Quail, introduced in the 1860s as game birds. In a rare example of an introduced species causing no harm to the new environment, the California Quail slipped happily and successfully into the same habitat as its native predecessors.
Coming soon Baby Quails to go with the Daddy Quail.
