Coturnix japonica, also known as the Japanese quail, is a species of bird commonly kept in captivity for its meat and eggs. They are smaller than chicken and can be raised in smaller spaces, making them popular among hobbyists and small-scale farmers. Their eggs are considered a delicacy in many cultures due to their small size and rich flavor.
