Quail Eggs Hatch In North Hempstead [Cuteness Overload]

Twenty-five Northern Bobwhite Quails that were being incubated at the North Hempstead TV Studio in Westbury have hatched over Memorial Day Weekend.

These adorable baby birds will grow up and eventually be released on Town property to fight the tick population.

The birds even have their own “Qual Cam.” Watch live here.

The birds will be kept in the studio for another two weeks. From there, they will be transferred to a park in Suffolk County where the will mature.

In July, the quails will be released in the Town’s 200 wooded acres across from North Hempstead Beach Park and along the Hempstead Trail Harbor where they will spend their time eating ticks.
