As wildlife rehabilitators, 99 percent of our business is Pennsylvania wildlife. Occasionally, though, PMWC will step in to help animals that fall through the cracks, and have no where else to receive care. Such is the case with the Cotournix quali, a little chicken like species that we see a few times every year. Although we will never know what happened with this guy, he must have escaped from some captive situation -people use them for food, eggs, and release them for hunting. They easily fall through the cracks - they aren’t pets, per se, and they are not native wildlife,which means many wildlife rehabilitators will refuse to care for them. As for this little guy, we will make sure he’s healthy, give him some free meals, then find him a nice home where he can live with others of his own kind
