It likes areas with lots of brush. The California quail eats seeds, plant parts and sometimes. They feed in flocks in the early morning. Males often compete for a mate. They mate with only one female. Females usually lay between 12-16 cream and brown speckled eggs. Their nest is a shallow hollow or scrape in the ground that is lined with grass. The female incubates the eggs for about three weeks. Both parents care for the chicks. The chicks leave the nest shortly after birth. They make their first attempts at flight when they are about 10 days old, and will fly when flushed but generally prefer to run for cover. As adults they roost in trees as a group.
