This is what California has to say about going through its agricultural checkpoints with Livestock. Looks like your best bet is to get the birds a health checkup with paperwork so there won't be any issue about their status as being healthy animals. You could call them pets but since they are very unusual pets and normally seen for agricultural use you will may possibly end up needing to play their game if you ever run into a situation where you have to declare that you have them onboard. That health certificate should avoid getting them confiscated or having you turned away at an agricultural check station in any state. Quail are not exotic but also might not qualify as "native" to the state. Tricky stuff to predict because sometime you might run into an inspector who like to give people a hard time when they are having a bad day.hausmutti said:I know a few people travel with pet birds. I have a few quail I want to bring with me and wondered if CA or AZ ag inspection stations have a problem with birds.
