Plump, charming and with that jaunty little head plume - our printable quail mask is a delightful and unusual bird choice! The quail is a small ground-dwelling bird found across Europe, Asia and the Americas, and this mask captures that round, compact, wonderfully characterful look perfectly. Perfect for birds of the world school projects, garden wildlife classroom activities, World Book Day, birthday parties, and quietly dignified imaginative play.

The quail is a lovely choice for British and European birds topics - it's one of only two migratory game birds found in the UK and its distinctive call is one of the sounds of a warm summer evening across farmland and meadows. Every mask comes with a full colour version AND a black and white line art version for colouring in.

5 Interesting Facts About Quails!

Quails are the only migratory game bird in the UK - they travel all the way from sub-Saharan Africa each spring, arriving in May and June to breed in cereal fields and meadows.
The male quail's call is one of the most distinctive countryside sounds - a loud, liquid 'wet-my-lips' or 'quick-quick-quick' that carries surprisingly far for such a small bird.
Baby quails (chicks) are extraordinarily precocial - they hatch fully feathered and alert, able to run within hours and find their own food within days of hatching.
A group of quails is called a covey - they live in tight social groups that huddle together in a circle at night, all facing outwards with tails touching so they can detect predators from every direction.
Quail eggs have been a delicacy since ancient times - they're roughly a third the size of a chicken egg but proportionally richer in nutrients, and have been prized in Chinese, Japanese and Roman cuisine for millennia.
