Bear was not a huge fan of her daughter Pear when the two first met. maternal instinct has been bred out of domestic Coturnix quail, so Bear was quite suspicious of this mysterious peeping bundle!

when Pear grew up (4 weeks later) the two eventually found some common ground in their shared attributes of roundness and brownness and would spend most of their time together. Pear ended up larger than her mother but inherited her gentle disposition and love of sitting around staring blankly into space

the gambel’s quail is a small quail species found primarily in the southwestern united states; they are also somewhat commonly kept in captivity. males are distinguished from females by their black facial markings; however, both sexes are overall gray. this species looks very similar to the california quail; however, the gambel’s quail has a notable black marking on the belly. this species primarily feeds on insects and plant matter collected from the ground. they most frequently travel by foot, and their clumsy flight is often described as ‘explosive’ - startled quails will burst into the air seemingly with no warning. their chicks are precocial, and will leave the nest within hours of hatching; during their youth, their diet is almost entirely insects.
