That Quail, Robert by Margaret A. StangerMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
These memoirs were lovingly recorded by Margaret A. Stanger, babysitter to ‘Robert’, a quail hen (female), when retired couple and quail-keepers Tommy & Mildred Kienzle of Massachusetts went overseas. There are nice illustrations from Cathy Baldwin.
It is an endearing and special tale of human-quail contact and imprinting.
The basis of this relationship is the belief, repeated in this book, that quail mothers will abandon their young that have had human contact.
I wonder, is that really true?
