Children’s Activity – Feed the Birds in Winter
Quail are birds native to Davis County. It is fun to watch the baby quail following their mother single file while the daddy quail stands guard. You can feed them in winter just like like the native songbirds. Wild quail will hunt for grains and seeds and finish their dinner with insects, plants, small nuts, and berries. Instead of feeding the quail, you can try to draw them using the steps here.
