Quail
A small brown bird streaked with white, the smallest game bird (Coturnix coturnix), resembling a miniature partridge with distinctive white and black markings, and a clean animal fit for consumption
ExamplesExodus 16:13 So it came about at evening that the quails came up and covered the camp, and in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp.
Numbers 11:31 Now a wind burst forth from the LORD and it brought quail from the sea, and dropped them beside the camp, about a day’s journey on this side and a day’s journey on the other side all around the camp, and about two cubits deep on the surface of the ground.
Numbers 11:32 And the people spent all that day, all night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quail (the one who gathered least gathered ten homers) and spread them out for themselves all around the camp.
