Among Stubble Quail
Coturnix novaezealandiae pectoralis collected in late summer
and autumn 1968 and 1969 in the Mudgee district, N.S.W. there were young birls still
showing some juvenile plumage and which were apparently breeding or had done so.
Morris and Kurtz (1977) stated that when heavy rain in this district produced a growth
of grass on the stubble fields at a rate faster than stock could eat it down, the number
of button quail
Turnix spp. built up. They also observed this for Stubble Quail (pers.
comm.).
