noun
common quail
Refers specifically to the bird species Coturnix coturnix. In everyday Japanese, the word ウズラ alone often refers to the Japanese quail, so this term is used when the European species needs to be distinguished.
ヨーロッパウズラは渡り鳥で、冬はアフリカに移動する。
The common quail is a migratory bird that moves to Africa in winter.
Compound of ヨーロッパ (Europe) and ウズラ (quail), a straightforward calque of the English 'common quail' or the scientific name Coturnix coturnix.
