This brief note by H. N. Ridley (p. 217) responds to remarks by Mr. Butler on fighting quails, reporting field observations from Sungei Ujong.
Summary
Ridley confirms that all decoy quail birds he examined with local quail-catchers in Sungei Ujong were females, and that the Malays consistently used females for fighting, as the males did not fight (p. 217).
