Riddle
I'm a shy, round bird. I wear a tiny feather hat on my head. Who am I?
Can you guess?
Answer
Quail — a small, round bird with a little feather or plume on top of its head.
Why this fits (short and simple for a 5-year-old)
- Round and small: Quails look plump and little.
- Shy: They hide in grass and bushes and like to stay quiet.
- Tiny feather hat: Many quails have a small feather or topknot that looks like a tiny hat.
Fun idea: Pretend to be a quail—curl up a bit, tuck your hands, and make soft peep-peep sounds!
