Quail

Quick and swift, dash away
  quilling crown, so flashy
    quite a bird, moves in flocks
      quirky squawks when fleeing
         quest to kill, tasty meal
            quoth the hunter, who waits
              quaint portraits show the prize.

You describe them to a tee. I use to love the ring neck pheasants too...
