    Never saw quail in a tree since there was nothing but jumping cholla cactus and wild oats for miles,but the birds tasted good lightly grilled.

    Funnily enough I've never seen one in a tree either and I live in the Pacific Northwest. Seen lots in a row running along the sides of the roads though.

    None of my business but... safer to sell framed. Anyone with any imagination should be able to picture it with a more sympathetic mat and frame.

    I've had a few damaged shipping framed with glass. Never unframed.

    and if there is a will , there is a way .... can't say I have ever seen this , but we don't have many wild Flamingo's in California...... lol. In my 2-1/2 years as an Animal Control Officer and 20 + years as a Fire Fighter, I have seen many Quail up a tree, but usually a lower bush ..... and speaking of Quayle,Bushes and trees.....
