#quail update

Several! I'm one of those people that considers them my children (and I suppose for the most part we did make them so?)

Henri, of course. I remember naming him, laying in the garden for hours until he was brave enough to come say hello - he was tiny back then. I don't think I'd categorize him as a pet, exactly, but I'd be remiss not to include him.

The button quails - Tolya named the original three that I based the others off of, so there's Bottle Captain, Vitruvian Man Two, and Cheez Whizzard (my phone is constantly autocorrecting it to Cheese but I assure you it is Cheez). There are 21 quails in total, seven of each series and the naming trend just follow along with the original three. Vitruvian Man 3-8 are easy enough to remember. The BC series consists of Trashcan Corporal/Cancan, Jar Admiral, Teacup Lieutenant, To-Go Container Colonel, Quart-Cup Private, and of course The General. The Cheez Whizzard series has been more difficult to name because Tolya is better with puns than I am so mostly I just steal ideas from comments they make when I'm trying to make lunch: Grilled Cheesus (Cheesus Christ also works), Chief Boyardee, Ham Burglar (unaffiliated), K-Poptart, Avo Gato, and Peanut Butler. I don't play favorites, of course, but The General and Chief Boyardee like me the best I think.

I have several animals that I've made living at the temple, the residents typically name and care for them though.

We've reached the goal for the incubator! and even for the heater! At this rhythm the quails should arrive next month!!

just two more things to buy before we get the eggs! The housing and the food!

which, all together should cost 100€!!

Help us reach that goal and follow the quail adventure on my Ko-fi!

The General has stopped growing but she is at this point about the size of a large chicken or small wild turkey. She's thriving and the BC series continue to look to her as their leader

VM2 series have some kind of lesbian soap opera situation going on. VM7 and VM4 have been fighting over who gets to nest next to VM6 and VM3 (VM6's unrequited obsession) keeps getting caught in the crossfire. Their eggs are still so incredibly rounded, but Henri and Tolya like them

Vitruvian Man 2 series are obviously freaks (affectionate) who are by all accounts extremely. symmetrical. But I don't think they represent the ideal quail form (maybe if they had 4 extra limbs)

Bottle Captain series do show leadership qualities, although they don't seem to follow the same ranking guidelines as their namesake (heirarchal dependency on the container portion of the name rather than the title?)

Note: The General is an outlier here
