Hi All,

In the past in my averys, I have had budgies and King Quail together for years with absolutely no problem. At the moment I don't have any quail and I have just located some for sale nearby but they are Japanese Quail rather then King Quail. I'm just wondering if there is anyone here who can advise me on the difference and put me at rest as to whether they can live harmoniously with budgies. My avery is equipped with nice quaily hiding places and grass and places to dust-bath ect. I've kept them before I just need to know about the different species.

Thank you!

From what i have read king quails are smaller is size than Jap quails. Jap quail are more aggressive. It's not a good idea to keep Japs and Kings together. Budgies tend to be curious creatures and Japs don't like being approached.

Thanks I will let everyone know what happens in my little flock...
