People raise them for pets, and also for the infamous "so the children can see
the miracle of birth," and then release them or they escape. I've also known
hunters who raised and released them on their property. Human-raised ones can
be just about anywhere and won't necessarily act like proper wild birds.

It's interesting that there have been Bobwhites in the city. About a month ago,
I felt very confident that I saw one at the edge of a stand of trees in a
"wilder" area on the grounds of Glen Allen HS (brown with white on the head,
walking like a chicken, about the size of a Mourning Dove, no tail when it flew
off, no flight call like a Mourning Dove or Killdeer) but a birder I know told
me that it almost certainly couldn't have been one based on the habitat. If
they are in the city at bird feeders, now I'm wondering if I really did see
one. What do you all think?

For about the past month, two neighbors have told me they have had quail in
their yards, here in Stratford Hills in Richmond.
This morning, at least two were in my front yard eating under a bird
feeder. NOTE: I tried to attach some pictures, but the email would not go
through with them attached. Anyone wanting pictures can contact me.
After some research, I realize these are Northern Bobwhite aka Virginia
Quail.
Very cool - bobwhite/quail in the city!

Very cool! I spotted one in my neighborhood (Carytown) on June 29th of this
year.
