好可爱的鹌鹑宝宝来啦！--- 今天47天开始生了第一个蛋！

4月11日星期五一大早仿佛听到鹌鹑叫，等起床一看，一个笼子翻倒在地，小桶也倒了撒了一地雞粮，三只大鹌鹑没了踪影。肯定是Bonlark那两只鸡捣乱。它们是真正散养鸡，只是晚上自愿回窝的。它们大概看到笼子上的小桶，跳上去吃食把笼子打翻了。没有小桶它们也喜欢跳上去的。我在后院找了三圈才找回一只母鹌鹑，大概叫Curiosity的，它们全有名字的。这个事故导致丢失一公一母两只鹌鹑。权当两张十刀票票飞了吧。肯定是鸡把鹌鹑啄跑了。
4月14日星期一下午三四点钟，一只黑鸟在后院出没，是鹌鹑的天敵之一，忽然听到一声宏亮的鸣叫。Mr Machel! 小孩一下子就冲出去看，果然是那只走失的公鹌鹑，在邻居家院子里。它想回来，从篱笆缝里挤了过来。人一捉它，它又钻回去了。不管怎样，把它弄回来了。可怜的家伙，这几天又是大雨又没吃喝还有天敵，肯定担惊受怕。看了看邻居那边，没发现那只母鹌鹑。它们的羽毛很有保护效果，隐身效果强。Mr Machel丟了一个老婆。脚踝还在流血，不知道铁丝划破了，还是受到了恶鸟的攻击。

Do you have the address of the pet shop in Carlingford, where chick feed is sold?

I also bought my quails from the same pet store. It is too far from me. So now I buy quail/chicken feed from a pet shop in Castle Hill. Yes the male quails are fighting each other and it seems that they are mating randomly regardless of sex.

Sorry, I can only type English with this laptop.

看了好心动，我也准备养。

我还有6只公鹌鹑，一爹五儿子。母鹌鹑只两个了，一母一女。母的都能下蛋了，那只小鹌鹑下蛋居然是没有斑点儿的青蛋，很奇怪。
公鹌鹑打架好厉害，把笼子门都能撞开，据说是不死不休。我现在两个笼子，还不够，他们老打架，怎么办呢？晚上我要找东西顶着笼子门儿，防止撞开再丢鹌鹑。
我现在找到一种鸡粮，比较好。原来从ENFIELD买的鸡粮都不爱吃。现在这种鸡粮，其实不是鸡粮，是宠物店卖的喂野鸟的混合谷物，里面什么都有，所以不论是鸡还是鹌鹑都能从里面找自己爱吃的东西。

不费时，几天加次水，几天加次饲料。比养鸡省事好多。

就在帮宁买的，在外面卖花园东西的角落。有很多不同的规格。

我又去买了四只母鹌鹑，让公的人人有幸福。看到卖我鹌鹑里有一只是白的，跟楼主的那种很象，我就问店员是不是特别品种。店员说全是一样的，我就特意把它买了回来，好好研究一下。既然是同种同属，为什么有那么大的颜色差异，我好好看了看，初步认定结果是白化病（albinism），应当是与近亲繁育有关。不过我不是动物专家，所以还有待专家认定。目前建议大家在买鹌鹑时买正常羽毛颜色的鹌鹑，就是黑色褐色棕色夹杂的那种常见的颜色，不要买全白或者羽毛都有些褪色的泛白的鹌鹑。
Albinism (from Latin albus, "white"; see extended etymology, also called achromia, achromasia, or achromatosis) is a congenital disorder characterized by the complete or partial absence of pigment in the skin, hair and eyes due to absence or defect of tyrosinase, a copper-containing enzyme involved in the production of melanin. Albinism results from inheritance of recessive gene alleles and is known to affect all vertebrates, including humans. While an organism with complete absence of melanin is called an albino (US /ælˈbiːnoʊ/,[1] or UK /ælˈbaɪnoʊ/)[2] an organism with only a diminished amount of melanin is described as albinoid.[3]

Albinism is associated with a number of vision defects, such as photophobia, nystagmus and astigmatism. Lack of skin pigmentation makes for more susceptibility to sunburn and skin cancers. In rare cases such as Chédiak–Higashi syndrome, albinism may be associated with deficiencies in the transportation of melanin granules. This also affects essential granules present in immune cells leading to increased susceptibility to infection.

有兴趣的可以继续研究。下面有查到的文献资料：

• Albinism in Japanese Quail (from Crawford, R. D., 1990. Poultry Breeding and Genetics. Elsevier Amsterdam, The Netherlands.):

Types:

• Complete Albinism (autosomal recessive; completely white bodies with bright red eyes)

• Incomplete Albinism (sex-linked recessive; pink eyes with white to light yellow bodies, light barring may occur on some feathers)

• Dominant White (incomplete autosomal dominant; white bird with black skin; partially lethal; few birds survive to adulthood)

• Recessive White (autosomal recessive; white bird with a few WT feathers splashed on the head, neck, and back)

• White Feathered Down (autosomal recessive; lethal in the homozygous form; white feathers and down and black eyes)

• Brown Splashed White (autosomal recessive; white splashed with WT feathers predominantly on the head, back, wings, and breast)

• Panda (autosomal recessive; WT splashed with white; breast feathers and primaries are always white)

• White Breasted (autosomal recessive; white fronted birds-from eyes to vent)

• White Crescent (possibly autosomal recessive; white crescent on the chest of a WT colored bird)

• White Bib (possibly autosomal recessive; white bib on the chest of a WT colored bird)

• White Primaries (autosomal recessive; white primary feathers only)


Q: Why can some of these mutations be classified as albinos?

A: Albinism is the complete lack of pigment in the feathers, eyes, or skin and all of these mutations exhibit at least one of those criteria. Some have white feathers, but normal skin and eyes - they are albinos for feather colour. The mutations that exhibit a mix of feather colours are partial albinos for feather colour. Several genes (maybe more) are responsible for feather colour in birds and a mutation in at least one of these genes is leading to white feathers. These birds are an albino for the gene(s) causing the white feathers and wild type at the genes where there has been no mutation.


Albinism in Pheasants (from Crawford, R. D., 1990. Poultry Breeding and Genetics. Elsevier Amsterdam, The Netherlands.):

Types:

• Pied Spotting (autosomal recessive; pied with white feathers; dirty blue eyes)

• Blue Eyed White (autosomal recessive; completely white feathers and blue eyes; pearl white shanks and beak)

• Brown Eyed White (autosomal recessive; completely white feathers and brown eyes; buff beaks and shanks)

• Incomplete Albinism (sex-linked recessive; white bird and pink eyes; reduced viability)

• Albino (inheritance unknown; white feathers and red eyes)

• White Skin (autosomal dominant; white skin [pinky hue])


• In conclusion, albinism is not a very well studied mutation in genetics so there isn't very much information out there and the definition of an albino is disputed among geneticists. If you take the most common definition "Albino = a pigmentless "white" phenotype determined by a mutation in a gene coding for a pigment synthesizing enzyme.", you have to interpret an albino as anything where there is a mutation in a gene which results in a pigmentless phenotype. This means that any mutation leading to a pigmentless phenotype (white hair, feathers, OR skin or red eyes) should be classified as an albino. This can be extended to animals expressing these phenotypes for only part of their body (e.g. lacking pigment in their toes, have splashes of white feathers, only have red eyes). These may not be complete albinos (red eyes, white skin, & white feathers/hair), but they are partial albinos.
