Other common symptoms include fever, headache, deformity of the nose, weakness, dizziness and sore throat. Complications of epistaxis include nausea and vomiting due to the swallowing of blood. More serious complications can include anemia, hypovolemic shock, airway obstruction and very rarely, death.
Fully grown Gambel's quails subsist upon a diet that is 90 percent vegetarian. Insects remain in their diet as a supplement, especially during nesting season when their caloric needs are greater.
The Gambel's quail that live in the California desert are year-round residents. They are active all year too, foraging around for seeds and, possibly, tiny insects. They come to my bird-friendly garden every day for the birdseed that is scattered around for all the birds to eat. We put out water for them too.
