California Quail

Cute, quirky, and a little bit bougie.
The instantly recognisable — with its curled top feather, black-and-white face, and round little body, this bird is part fashion icon, part backyard delight. Introduced to New Zealand in the 1860s, it’s now a familiar sight in rural gardens and native parks, often seen bobbing across the grass in charming little coveys.

Whether you’re a bird nerd, a lover of eccentric accessories, or someone who appreciates well-dressed wildlife, this piece will bring a smile. Our silhouette captures the full fabulousness of the quail — plume, plumpness and all.
