They are small, round birds that are found in Mexico, Texas, and Arizona, living in grassy areas and forests. With their fancy feather patterns, males look like they're wearing a mask and a necklace, while females have a more simple, brown color.  \nNow, let's learn about what they eat and their life cycle. Montezuma Quails love to eat insects, seeds, and especially bulbs of plants, which they can find with their strong, short beaks. After mating in the summer, the female lays about a dozen eggs that hatch in only three weeks-that's super fast!  \nFinally, let's find out how they get along with humans and other animals, and how they protect themselves. People usually don't see them because they are shy and hide when they sense danger, they can even run really fast if they need to!
