Offering free dust baths to the neighborhood #quorb this week (and every week)!

Photo of a sunny, dusty patch of backyard dirt and detritus under a wild rose bush that has been discovered by a pair of California quail. On the left, in the tawny brown and grey female colorway, one of the quail is lying down up to eir shoulders in a little dustbowl e's tamped down for emself, eir face in right-facing profile peeking out with a sweet, baby-doll face capped on the forehead with a squared-off pull-tab crest. E is almost invisible amidst the colors of the scurf and soil. Standing watch in front of em is eir partner in the male colorway--smooth grey breast, chestnut flanks with creamy basketry markings, sweet, glossy black face outlined with sporty white piping and capped with eir own plump, curling quotation mark of forehead plume. E is puffed up and alert to any sound that might signal an interruption to bath time.

Zoomed-in photo of just the quail in the male colorway looking so dapper and proud in the brilliant morning sun. E is plump and smooth and artfully detailed, not just with those wonderful colorblocks or those quill-like basketry marks on eir flanks, but with fine speckling along the neck, glowy, chestnut fuzz at the cap, and a soft, gold unibrow adding both gravitas and hilaritas to eir profile.
