It's quail season!

The adorable little buggers are running around my neighborhood in sevens, giving me much delight.

Is "sevens" the collective noun for quails? A sevens of quails?

Bzzrrrt, sorry, that would be a "bevy" or "covey" of quails (or quail, either plural is correct.)

I love it that you know the right answer!

Well, I looked it up. :)

They make the coolest little sounds of distress when you come near (like within 25 feet), too, and they skitter off like you won't see them running into the shrubbery. They're charmingly comical.
