Rescued Baby Quail Shows Her Good Side
These adorable baby quail were found, all alone, in the Laguna Canyon wilderness and taken to the Wetlands Wildlife Care Center.
LOS ALAMITOS, CA —Have you ever stumbled across an abandoned baby bird and not known how to help it? Thanks to the folks at the Orange County non-profit Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center, these folks were able to maintain a couple of lost baby quails, in need.
A passerby discovered the young baby quail on a trail, a spokesperson for the Wildlife Care Center told Patch.
"There was no mom and no nest, so the baby was brought in to us," they said. Now that the babies are safe and sound at the Care Center, they are thriving and growing. Plus, they are adorable.

Baby quails adapt easily to their environment, and some are raised in captivity like chickens, but these little guys will return to the wild once they are old enough to fend for themselves. This year has seen a plethora of babies at the center, including ducklings, baby opossums, and squirrels.
These adorable Fox Squirrels were recently released back into the wild. They loved hanging out in our hanging baskets while being cared for at our facility, but they were even more excited to be climbing trees! #wildliferehab #urbanwildlife #wildlife #squirrel #wildlifewednesday pic.twitter.com/YnHLSnMk3v
