G'day all,
has anyone ever seen or heard of a Painted Button-quail pretending it has a
broken wing to distract an observer from nearby eggs or chicks? I saw one
acting this way today (could not see any nest or chicks nearby though) and was
wondering whether the bird might actually have had a broken wing - it seemed to.
Brian
