Abstract: A field watering device for game birds, particularly quail, is provided, which has a body for holding water, a ground anchor portion for securely fixing the body into the ground, and at least one water dispensing nipple for dispensing water from the body to the game birds. The field watering device uses conventional water dispensing nipples such as used to dispense water to the young birds in their commercial pens. When the young birds are released into the wild, the birds have an enhanced survival rate using the field watering device, since they are accustomed to obtaining water from the nipples. Without the field watering device, there is a higher loss of birds due to their unfamiliarity with natural water sources.
