He manu liʻiliʻi ka puʻu. He 18 kenimika ka lōʻihi o ka quail makua a ma kahi o 100 grams ke kaumaha. Hiki ke loaʻa ka Quail ma nā wahi a pau o ʻEulopa, a ma nā wahi o ʻApelika a me ʻAsia. Ma ke ʻano he manu lele, noho kā mākou quail i ka hoʻoilo ma ʻApelika mahana.
Ma ke ʻano, noho ka quail ma nā kula ākea a me nā kula. ʻAi nui lākou i nā ʻōpala, nā ʻanoʻano, a me nā wahi liʻiliʻi o nā mea kanu. Mālama kekahi poʻe hānai i ka quail. Hoʻohana lākou i kā lākou mau hua e like me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā hua o nā moa home.
ʻAʻole ʻike ka poʻe i ka quail no ka mea makemake lākou e peʻe. Eia naʻe, hiki ke lohe ʻia ke mele i hoʻohana ʻia e nā kāne no ka huki ʻana i nā wahine a hiki i ka hapalua kilomita. ʻO ka maʻamau ka male quail hoʻokahi wale nō i ka makahiki, i Mei a i Iune. Hāʻawi ka puʻu wahine ma waena o ʻehiku a me ʻumikumamālua mau hua. Hoʻomoʻo ia i kēia mau mea i loko o kahi lua i loko o ka lepo, kahi e uhi ai ka wahine me nā lau mauʻu.
ʻO ka ʻenemi nui o ka puʻu he kanaka no ka mea ke luku nei ʻo ia i ka noho ʻana o ka quail. Hana ʻia kēia ma ka mahi ʻana i nā māla nui i ka mahiʻai. ʻO nā lāʻau ʻawaʻawa a ka poʻe mahiʻai e pāpaʻi ʻia e hoʻopōʻino i ka quail. Eia kekahi, ʻimi ʻia ka quail e nā kānaka me nā pū. Ua manaʻo ʻia kā lākou ʻiʻo a me nā hua he mea ʻono no nā kenekulia he nui. Eia naʻe, hiki i ka ʻiʻo ke make i nā kānaka. ʻO kēia no ka mea, ʻai ka quail i nā mea kanu ʻaʻole ʻino i ka quail akā ʻona i ke kanaka.
Ma ka biology, hoʻokumu ka quail i kāna ʻano holoholona ponoʻī. Pili ia i ka moa, ka pipi, a me ka pipi. Me nā ʻano ʻano ʻē aʻe he nui, hana lākou i ka papa o Galliformes. ʻO ka quail ka manu liʻiliʻi loa ma kēia ʻano. ʻO ia wale nō ka manu lele.
