The California Quail is the latest bird to be cutified as a Birdorable. This beautiful bird, the state bird of California, resides along the west coast of North America, from British Columbia to Baja California. The quail's distinctive forward-drooping plume appears to be a single feather, but it is actually composed of six feathers. These birds are known for their sociable behavior, often seen in small flocks, and their distinctive, charming calls.

Our Birdorable version captures the cuteness and unique features of this lovely bird perfectly. Whether you're a fan of state birds or just love cute avian friends, the California Quail is a delightful addition to any bird enthusiast’s collection.
