This is probably a dumb question but here goes. I need to now the size of wire and the easiest way to get a wire up through a quail's leg. I am not used to doing small bird and would appreciate the help.thanks.

Cant type today.
if you need support, heavier wire (jsut look at it and use best judgement) if its flying, real light
wire between skin and bone on back side - just like any other bird
good luck

I used a 18 gauge on flying mounts this year for Christmas presents. It was the thinest I had on hand. It also was a little tough to work with but managed in the end. I would use 18 for standing and 20 for flying. This is what they recomend,
Neck- 22
Leg- 16 to 18
Wing- 18 to 20
