Quail are usually seen in a group of 10 to 20 birds, called a “covey.” They feed near thick underbrush like poison oak, which provides cover from predators. In the spring the male often perches on a fence post or other lookout point, and gives a loud call that sounds like “chi-CA-go, chi-CA-go.”

Both the male and female have an interesting head plume made up of six feathers. Native Americans used this plume for decorating special baskets.
