Japanese Quail Skull #00682

This is the skull of a Japanese quail!

The Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) is a species of small Old World quail native to East Asia. It was domesticated in 11th or 12th century Japan and is now commonly raised for meat and eggs.
This is a nice captive example of the species. It was beetle-cleaned and whitened in strong hydrogen peroxide. Please review all pictures and description for condition.
This specimen is a legal bird skull – it is not from an ESA- or MBTA-listed species and is legal to sell and possess. US sales only, sorry!
