The first thing is to take the quail to the vet to make sure it does not have a physical reason. Then change the lighting to full spectrum or a newer bulb. Make sure it gets enough sleep. Misting with water is also helpful to the bird. Also make sure it has some kind of enrichment activities.

birds do that when stressed.Reduce stress!larger cage, with natural bedding not wire alone, fresh grasses, a place to hide, if alone get it company, handle it less. That should do it in a couple of weeks.Eat plenty of fiber and drink plenty of water. Stop eatting white bread . Only eat wheat bread. Eat lots of vegetables and fruits
