Bobwhites are easy to keep and raise. They are often one of the first species of quail for the beginning quail breeder and many long-time breeders keep them around for the male's call. The call is a very soothing and catchy sound.  The bobwhite is much smaller than its upland game associates, the ruffed grouse and wild turkey. Bobwhites are mottled gray, brown, black, and white in color. Males are easily distinguished from females by their pure white throat and eye bands. In the hen, these markings are buff colored. As in most birds, the hen is generally more modestly colored than the cock. The bobwhite quail is commonly referred to as the "King of native American game birds".  The bobwhite's rapid, erratic flight, together with its small size, make it a challenge for the upland gunner. It is regarded as one of the most delicious table game birds of all.
