The Mearns Quail (Montezuma Quail) is one of the most sought-after and elusive species in the game bird world. Native to the oak and pine grasslands of the American Southwest and northern Mexico, they have long captivated naturalists and hunters alike with their striking patterns, secretive habits, and rarity in the wild.
Historically admired for their ornate plumage and unique foraging behavior, Mearns quail are considered a symbol of prestige among collectors, breeders, and avicultural hobbyists. Owning a true breeding pair is a mark of dedication to both the preservation of the species and the advancement of aviculture as a discipline. Each pair represents not only the opportunity to participate in the propagation of one of the rarest quails on earth, but also the pride of owning a living piece of natural history.
At The Walker Preserve, our quails descend from carefully selected lineages that emphasize diversity, vigor, and resilience.
