About
The common quail is a small, plump ground bird that weighs only about 5.3 ounces (0.15 kg).
It is one of the smallest game birds in the pheasant family, dwarfed by cousins like ring-necked pheasants and chickens. Both sexes share a similar compact build, though egg-laying females can be slightly heavier. Despite its tiny body and short wings, it manages long migratory flights between Europe and Africa each year.
From Wikipedia
