Baby Quails

So one random night we decided to take the kids out to dinner. As we went outside we noticed a bunch of baby quails running around our yard. We figured they were the ones from the nest in the bush and assumed they would find their nest and relax. Some of them kept getting stuck so of course Josh and the kids came to their rescue. 
 After we returned from dinner we noticed only 2 quails huddled against our garage door and a black cat roaming across the street. We found one baby quail that the cat had gotten but none others. So again Josh came to the rescue and made a nice little home for the 2 remaining quails. We determined that they had come from the nest in the tree, not the bush, and had all fallen out. No mom or dad in sight :( So we grabbed the nest and put it in the turtle's cage since the turtle is outside for the summer. Josh read up on how to nurse them back to health and has been hand feeding them. We'll see how it goes!
