🍗 Butler Bobwhite
Quail · breed reference
The heaviest bobwhite line — selectively bred to nearly a pound, close to double the wild bird. A meat bobwhite for keepers who want the white-meat native rather than the Coturnix. The weight costs it the flush, so it's a table bird rather than a dog-training bird. NATIVE GAME BIRD: state permit — see the Northern Bobwhite entry, the same law applies.
