Quail numbers in the South have been decimated by predators, number 1, loss of habitat, number 2, chemical/insecticides type applications number 3. This study was done, IIRC, by the U of FL folks. Predators for quail range from fire ants to everything that crawls or walks or flies, crows being among the latter as a major scourge.
I would not personally, like to subsist on a diet of crow......
