Seeing a quail signifies good provision coming from God and, according to another interpretation, wealth and bounty arriving from afar. It may signify the removal of sorrow and hardship, deliverance from an enemy, and fulfillment of a promise. Some interpreters say it signifies a two-faced man or ingratitude for an existing blessing.
Eating quail meat signifies marriage for the unmarried; killing a quail signifies gaining an enemy.
