![]() Types of Quails Along with the Bush Quail, two most common quail species in India namely, the Grey Quail and the Rain Quail are prized as game birds. They are mostly resident, but in winter a vast influx of migrant Grey Quails from northern countries augments the local population. Other types of quails found in India are Himalayan Quail, Rock Bush Quail, Painted Bush Quail, Common Quail and Japanese Quail. Himalayan Quail has been traced in the western Himalayas in Uttarakhand, north-west India and Mussoorie. Rock Bush Quail has been recorded in parts of peninsular India. Painted Bush Quail has been traced in hill forests of India.
