Bernard Henry, 28, has 52 themed bonnets for his Mearns quails. The birds are named Finn, Quinn, Jake, and Daisy.
Henry started raising birds when he was 17 and has 150 feathered friends, including peacocks, chickens, ducks, and button quails, roaming around his Connecticut farm.
The Mearns quails have separate lodgings from the rest of the farm’s birds. Finn, Quinn, Jake, and Daisy stay close to Henry, residing in their own room in the farmer’s house.

A Connecticut farmer has returned home for the first time in three weeks after he was burned in what family friends describe as a “freak accident.”
The 64-year-old inadvertently splashed gasoline on his pant leg before starting up his tractor, which caused a spark that ignited the blaze, theNew Haven Registerand theRecord-Journalreported.
He was eventually transported to Bridgeport Hospital, where he received “life saving treatment” for the “significant burns” and blood clots that resulted from the incident, the Lohmanns said.
