Quail Symbolism . . .

In observation of this adorable little troupe of travelers ~ the Quail, I find them to be perfectly enchanting!

Yes, I call them a troupe because I find them so very entertaining!

Quails are always seen in family groups trotting around together, and where one goes, they all go. 

These little feathered families like to roam looking for seeds on the ground, and even through they can fly, they prefer to travel on foot. 

I always enjoy catching a glimpse of these little darlings scurrying from a garden across the street to my flower garden, where I have a pile of small boulders with lots of hiding spots in the crevices and tunnels.

They love this great escape when they want to take cover, and whenever they know they've been spotted ~ they all run for cover!

A few facts about the Quail
Quail is part of the Pheasant family, with a wide variety of species, the Quail is between the size of a Robin and a Crow.  In a group the birds are called a covey or a bevy, and the female lays from six to twelve eggs with the eggs hatching in about 18 days.  The hatch-lings are ready to walk just as soon as their feathers are dry.

Spiritual Meaning of Quail

The Quail presents itself to you to take you on a journey that delves into the spiritual symbolism of purpose and progress. 

The famous quote from Lao Tzu "The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step", is so sublimely spot on when understanding the aspects of progress and purpose presented from the animal guide Quail.

The spiritual meaning of Quail can be a sign for you to take a close look at "where you want to go" or "where are you heading"? 

Is where you are heading where you want to go? 

Take time to contemplate these ideas, for they represent your life story and ultimately the purpose which you give this life.

With one step one can begin a life-changing journey, and with one step after another great distances can be traversed or great feats can be accomplished, and it all begins with one step. 

The Quail is a symbol that any action in the direction of purpose is to be considered sacred progress, and moving forward creates momentum, and unexpected opportunities and blessings arise on the journey.

When Quail is your spirit animal, the message he brings you is about being grounded, or finding what grounds you.
