Well it's been about a couple weeks without Facebook and I don't miss it at all. People can still see my page,Mainely-Quail there and that has all the contact info for people to go to my website or check out some new and old videos on YouTube. I have no way of telling how many are watching my website but I do see how many views my YouTube videos get. It's surprising that us breeders of rare exotic quail just get a tiny fraction of the views that the coturnix breeders get. They get thousands and thousands and some of us only get a small handful. I guess there are way more meat and egg breeders than there are folks interested in keeping the rarer breeds. I've looked at some of theirs. Some are very professional.some not too bad,but some are terrible beyond belief. Some,actually a lot of them, make the people on the Facebook "dummy sites" look like experts,and what's worse is that in the comments,people are jumping up and down congratulating and praising them for their knowledge of raising quail !!!! You oughtta see some of the shit people think is just great !!!
 I'm seeing so many quail way overcrowded in little tiny wire quail jails with barely enough room to change their minds. They're crawling over each other because there's not enough floor space to walk.This isn't just coturnix either. I've seen all of the breeds that I raise there too ! Complete squalor and people praise them up and down for it. These so called breeders are narrating,giving out advice that's completely wrong with people lappin it right up,thanking them for their vast knowledge and help !
 The comments are beyond belief. I just saw one guy ask one of the idiots about how he's got two quail eggs and how he should hatch them. I saw a video titled,"Tennessee Red Bobwhite Quail". It was a cage full of coturnix ! At least a couple people pointed that one out. I see this kid who put a whole bunch of videos on there back in 2010 - 2011 of all the different types,crawling in shit,all ratty and rough,and most of the people were practically begging him to buy eggs and birds ! Some were even crossbred Valleys to Gambel's ! One guy specifically wanted those !! There's a lot more with the overnight experts handing out advice.A lot of it's wrong. People comment on how these peoples' birds look so healthy when they're the rattiest things you'd ever seen.
 I had the commenting disabled for my videos just for the reason that I know for sure I'd get some of my old Facebook "buddies" coming on with their wiseass,keyboard tough guy comments. I could let people comment there I guess because it's not as easy to get the boot from YouTube as it is with the Facebook snowflakes,but I just don't want to get into it with those assholes anymore. It's been nice to be away from being stalked under fake profiles from The Three Golden Boys. A few of my friends fill me in on the shit they're still pulling. I just laugh at it now.
 This is really weeding out a lot of duds for me. I don't get those bullshit messages from people wanting this and wanting that but know that they never intend to actually buy anything. People call and e mail me now and most are serious,but I do still get a lot of people wanting Bobwhites and coturnix. Those are the people who must get me mixed up with that other Mainely Quail without the hyphen in the name. I've mentioned  on numerous occasions about that. 
 Another thing is that I still do get quite a few people asking me for hatching eggs !  I've written in my posts on there since 2017 I no longer sell quail eggs ! People that are asking me this are people who,for two years, "liked" my posts about it. What do they do ? Do they comprehend what they read at all or do they forget ? Do they just give the posts a like without actually reading them ? I had one regular ask me for two dozen Benson eggs in May ! I've mentioned that they don't start laying in Maine until late June / early July and I hatch every one !
 Facebook isn't as private as it's supposed to be either. I've had the commenting turned off there too but once in a while I see a new one pop up. I just got a laugh emoji from the well known nutjob,Kari Peterson on the brief post that I was leaving Facebook. What the hell is she doing following my old page ? She has some serious issues and people sure know it. I'm definitely not the only one. I can still see my old quail page on there but can't post or comment unless I log back in. My personal page is gone.
 Yes there are a lot of goddamn fools on YouTube but it still beats the hell outta Facebook !😀 If you want to look at it,click on the link on my old page,or type in Maine-ly Quail - Exotic Quail to avoid most of the coturnix stuff. Don't forget my website. It's www.mainely-quail.com . A lot of categories,new and old videos, and pictures,and posts about birds and nuts. All of my contact info is there. Serious folks only and remember once again - NO HATCHING EGGS  !!!  NO BOBWHITES OR COTURNIX !!!  Thanks.
