Get to planting a patch or add it to your trails.

      You can purchase Winter wheat or barley at a feed store for cheap. Use cookie sheets to plant on. Soak the grains for a day or two until they start to sprout then spread on cookie sheet. No soil needed. Just keep it moist. Might want to look up growing fooder for livestock.

    Sonakebaters are small quail-like gamebirds native to Africa and Asia, they are known for their black-and-white colored chins, a white stripe above their eyes, large black patches on their chest, and pinkish-white legs, they constitute the genus Chrysortyx with two extant species: the Rain Sonakebater (Chrysortyx coromandelicus) and the Harlequin Sonakebater (Chrysortyx delegorguei), despite being also known as black-breasted quails, tragopan quails, stripe-headed quails, or golden quails, sonakebaters are not quails at all, they are more closely related to tragopans than they are to true quails, like tragopans (genus Tragopan), sonakebaters (genus Chrysortyx) belong to the tribe Tragopanini in the subfamily Lophophorinae within the family Phasianidae inside the superfamily Phasianoidea, the rain sonakebater has three subspecies: the Indian Rain Sonakebater (Chrysortyx coromandelicus coromandelicus), the Burmese Rain Sonakebater (Chrysortyx coromandelicus burmensis), and the Thai Rain Sonakebater (Chrysortyx coromandelicus siamensis) and the Harlequin Sonakebater (Chrysortyx delegorguei) has three subspecies: the Arabian Harlequin Sonakebater (Chrysortyx delegorguei arabicus), the Common Harlequin Sonakebater (Chrysortyx delegorguei delegorguei), and the São Tomé Harlequin Sonakebater (Chrysortyx delegorguei histrionicus).
