A quail was a type of small bird from Earth, once hunted for food and sport. In 2372, Miles O'Brien commented that driving out Klingon starships from the Bajoran system by detonating parts of their minefield was "just like flushing quail." (DS9: "Sons of Mogh")

| - In Greek stories the form of a quail was adopted by Asteria to escape the amorous attentions of Zeus. Asteria, a daughter of the Titan Coeus and Phoebe, was pursued by the god Zeus. In order to escape from his embraces, she got metamorphosed into a quail (ortux), threw herself into the sea, and was here metamorphosed into the island Ortygia, or Delos. Her sister Leto later sought refuge on the isle and there gave birth to her twins. Leto was a Titan goddess in Greek mythology, daughter of the Titans Coeus and Phoebe. She was an early and favourite lover of Zeus. In some versions, it was said that Zeus adopted the form of a quail when he mated with Leto.
- The man known only as "Quail" is an international master criminal wanted by the United States government for serious crimes including the supply of black market arms and gold smuggling. It is unknown if Quail is his actual name or a codename. In "The Last of the Fourth of Julys," Quail has developed an high power, long-range laser that he intends to use to kill a number of world leaders by deflecting its beam from an orbiting satellite. Quail's last known whereabouts were the laser control room of his island base. OSI presumed that Quail did not survive the explosion of the laser that destroyed Quail's facility.

- The quail family of birds includes edible game species. The Common Quail was previously much favoured in French cooking, but quail for the table are now more likely to be domesticated Japanese Quail. The Common Quail is also part of Maltese cuisine and Portuguese cuisine, as well as in Indian cuisine such as a bhuna. Quails are commonly eaten complete with the bones, since these are easily chewed and the small size of the bird makes it inconvenient to remove them. Quail eggs are considered a delicacy. They are sometimes used raw in sushi and often found in Japanese Bento lunches. In Colombia, quail eggs are less exotic than in many other countries, and a single hard-boiled quail egg is a common topping on hot dogs and hamburgers, often fixed into place with a toothpick. In the Philippines, kwek-kwek is a popular street food delicacy, which consists of soft-boiled quail eggs dipped in orange-colored batter before being skewered and deep-fried. Quail eggs are often believed to be very high in cholesterol, but evidence is showing that cholesterol levels are about similar to chicken eggs.
