Abstract
Quail annual survival rate and mean life span were calculated using the techniques of Brownie et al.3 and Haldane. 5 The computations were based on data sets of 135 390 and 336 095 birds respectively ringed between 1938–43 and 1946–53 at two Italian localities. The data did not fit Brownie et al.5 models, but 1st data set fitted Haldane's. The mean annual survival rates of Quails were estimated as between 27 and 31%. These rates are comparable to those of other similar sized Galliformes and confirm the Quail as being an r-strategist.
