I've been looking for several months with no luck.. Several people raise them.. but they push like $100 a pair.

It's interesting that you guys are looking for Mt.Quail. I bought
22 pairs last summer, yes for $100 a pair plus postage to ship them
here express mail. (That's about $12. a bird) and managed to kill
them all. They got a disease and died here
in my pen and one here one there, sometimes 3 & 4 at a time until all
40 plus birds died. I have some in my freezer, that are OK at best, but
not great. I threw some out, and saved a few. You guys can have them
for $10 ea, as is you get what you get. and I might again say, they are
not great.
Having said that, My buddy lost one today, a beautiful male. flew into
a post in the pen. He is absolutely perfect. Long topknot and really
beautiful. He is available for $100. plus postage express mail.
If interested, let me know. Bob Jungman Fresno CA. (559) 269-3336
a man named Stan Robinson of squaw creek farms.He sold them to me for 20.00 each. He has a web page that you can probably find in a google search as I cant remember the exact address. He is in Iowa and accepts paypal.He did also have a white mandarin drake and some teal for sale at one time also.
the reason they were so reasonable is that he had them for awhile in the freezer and didnt know if they were too dried out.He was having a taxidermy liquidation sale!
Thanks again to all of you, I think I will be able to come up with a couple of pairs for my display.
