Quails are small birds of the Phasianidae family, which are mainly found in western Eurasia, Africa and other places. They have been farmed in scale in North America and Southeast Asian countries in recent years. Quails grown in Canadian farms are grain-fed until they are 5 to 6 weeks old. They are free from hormone residues when slaughtered.

Partridge
Brief Introduction:
Just like quails, partridges belong to the Phasianidae family and are birds of a smaller size. Partridges are more or less the size of a pigeon. There are more than 30 species of partridges in the world. Most can be found in tropical and sub-tropical areas. Africa is the home to most of the species. In recent years, farmed partridges are also grain-fed in North America. The bird is only supplied in autumn. When slaughtered, partridges are usually 20 to 22 weeks old, and free from hormone residues. The sweet meat of partridges is perfect for enhancing the sweetness and fragrance of double-steamed soup. Porridge cooked with partridge is said to have a beautifying effect.
