Play Date with the Quails Video

Three year old grandson Caleb enjoys all the animals on the farm.
This weekend he was determined to catch one of the Corturnix/Pharaoh quails.

Almost got one!


Almost got one again!


Got one! For a second or two.


A lesson from Papa on how to hold a quail gently.


Hold him this way?


Then a visit inside the chicken nest box shop.
You made all these, Papa?



Caleb and quail video.

A fun play date with the quails. Caleb had fun, not quiet sure if the quails had did!

Have a great day!

Nothing beats a child that is so dear to our hearts and it is so hard to believe how fast they grow and the lovely memories they give us!!

I love seeing kids learning to handle animals gently - it's such a wonderful life lesson. Caleb is adorable.

He is soooooo cute! We love our grands so much! Aren't they the best? Looks like Billy is really good with him, too. Is Caleb your only grand?

Hi Pam, Caleb looks like he had a great time on the farm, I bet he learned lots of new things but did not realise as he was having so much fun. The nest box shop looks in full production!
