Hoe om dit te herken

A small, compact bird about 16 to 18 cm long1
Streaked brown plumage with a white eyestripe1
Males have a white chin1
Long wings, unlike most game birds1
A call of three repeated chirps, and the male's song sounds like 'wet-my-lips'1

Word dikwels verwar met: The Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica), native to Asia, looks very similar. Its call is very different from that of the common quail, which is the best way to tell them apart.1

Gifkrag

Giftig om te eet

Dit is net skadelik as iets dit eet.

Wat doen sy gif as jy daaraan raak of dit eet?

This bird is not venomous. Its meat can be poisonous if the birds have eaten certain plants, although which plants is still debated. The resulting illness, called coturnism, causes muscle soreness and may lead to kidney failure.1

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

Gevaar vir mense: PynlikDit kan regtig seermaak, maar dit is amper nooit ernstig nie.

One in four people who eat poisonous quail meat become ill with coturnism. The illness can lead to kidney failure.1

Wat doen dit as dit bang is?

When flushed, it keeps low and soon drops back into cover. It would rather creep away than fly.1

As iemand daaraan geraak of dit geëet het

As iemand dit geëet het of simptome kry nadat hy dit geëet het: bel dadelik jou noodnommer of 'n gifsentrum.

Bel altyd eers jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911). Dit is algemene noodhulpraad, nie mediese advies nie. Noodhulp-basiese beginsels

Bly veilig

Moet nooit aan 'n wilde dier raak, dit vang of terg nie, selfs nie 'n kleintjie nie, en selfs nie as dit lyk of dit slaap of dood is nie.
Gee dit spasie. As jy een raakloop, bly kalm, stap stadig terug en laat dit sy eie pad gaan.
As jy daaraan geraak of dit geëet het: moenie jou oë of mond vryf nie, was jou hande en kry mediese hulp.

Dit is nie uit om jou te kry nie. Sy gif is net daar sodat niks dit eet nie. Meer oor veilig bly
