I guess most people call them Johnny Houses. Basically they are a quail re-call pen http://www.gundogbreeders.com/dog-train ... works.html

I would prefer to use feral pigeons if I could get some. I've tried pest controllers and I've put a trap out to no avail. I got offered some cheap quail off a game farm I called looking for some partridge so I took them, hoping I could use them.

If their no use for spaniels I'll give them to to misses's father who trials pointers if their more suited to pointing breeds. But I was hoping to use them on my spaniels

Bobwhite quail are considered to be the best for gundog training. Hope you've got things rat proof because they love them.

In life, it is important to know when to stop arguing with people and simply let them be wrong.
