In just about the entire United States if you live in an area zoned R4 or higher, you can't keep flocks of birds. Period.
In my neighborhood your little quail would be seen on the porch in cages and at night the Vietnamese guys would slip in and get your birds. They like to pop a fresh killed bird in the Pho.
