Roulroul Quail Pair
The Roulroul Quail (Rollulus rouloul) is a ground-dwelling bird native to Southeast Asia, admired for its richly colored plumage and striking patterns. Males typically have bright blue-green body feathers and a vivid red crown, while females display more subdued tones with a charming brownish pattern. These quails are naturally social and shy, so keeping them in pairs or small groups helps them feel secure and active.
In captivity, Roulroul Quails thrive on a balanced diet including quality game bird seed mixes, fresh vegetables, and occasional protein sources such as mealworms or boiled eggs. Fresh, clean water should be available at all times. Their enclosure should be spacious, secure, and include cover, perches, and a sandy area for dust bathing to encourage natural behaviors and maintain health.
Roulroul Quails are calm, social, and fascinating to observe, making them a favorite for aviary enthusiasts. With proper care, they can live 5–7 years, providing long-term enjoyment.
