A covey
of
quail
tibble
across the road.
Their
short legs
barely
a blur
as they
try
to keep up
with
the forward motion
of their
roly-poly
bellies.
The dangling
dingle
feather
on their
forehead
is their
antennae -
tuned
into their own
alien bird
frequency...

I didn't think it was possible, but I do believe that you have captured the essence of quail!
I love the words describing the antennae.
