Coturnix (Noun)

Meaning

Old World quail.

Classification

Nouns denoting animals.

Examples

  • The Coturnix is a small bird belonging to the family Phasianidae and the order Galliformes, and it includes various Old World quail species.
  • In North America, many Coturnix species have been naturalized as an exotic invasive bird population due to hunting escapes and accidental releases.
  • Hunting the Coturnix in rural regions remains an integral cultural and sporting practice that reflects its delicate flavors when roasted as game meat.
  • Although research in genetic adaptation mechanisms may greatly enhance captive-bred populations, releasing a group of artificially enhanced Coturnix has never succeeded without genetic interference risks and unnatural inbreeding habits on an established breeding ecosystem.
  • Quail-hunting as well as commercially producing captive Coturnix also yields organic livestock breeding on relatively minimal water needs that meet dietary concerns through smaller local business applications on this meat game practice worldwide.
