Do Quail Mate for Life?

Resolved

No, quails do not mate for life.

Quails are generally not monogamous and tend to form new pairs each breeding season. In the wild, quails exhibit promiscuous mating behavior, where a single male may mate with multiple females, and females may mate with different males. This helps increase genetic diversity and the survival rate of their offspring.

However, in some domesticated or controlled environments, quails can form temporary pair bonds during the breeding season. These bonds usually last only for the duration of egg-laying and incubation. After that, quails typically go their separate ways and don’t show long-term attachment to a single mate.
