Quail
Quail is a collective name for several genera of mid-sized birds generally placed in the order Galliformes. The collective noun for a group of quail is a flock, covey, or bevy. Old World quail are placed in the family Phasianidae, and New World quail are placed in the family Odontophoridae. The species of buttonquail are named for their superficial resemblance to quail, and form the family Turnicidae in the order Charadriiformes. The king quail, an Old World quail, often is sold in the pet trade, and within this trade is commonly, though mistakenly, referred to as a "button quail".

He was the son of Áed mac Néill (died 819), called Áed Oirdnide, who had himself been High King. According to the 12th century '' Banshenchas'' (''Lore of Women''), his mother was Medb, daughter of Indrechtach mac Muiredaig of the Uí Briúin of Connacht.
