Editing Northern bobwhite (section)

==== European Union ====

Northern bobwhite were introduced into [[Italy]] in 1927,<ref>Ghigi, 1968</ref> and are reported in the plains and hills in the northwest of the country. Other reports from the EU are in [[France]], [[Spain]], and the [[Balkans]]. As bobwhites are highly productive and popular aviary subjects, it is reasonable to expect other introductions have been made in other parts of the EU, especially in the [[United Kingdom|U.K.]] and [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]], where game-bird breeding, liberation, and naturalization are relatively common practices.<ref>{{cite web|title=Bobwhite Quail|url=http://www.browfarm.co.uk/peafowl/bobwhite-quail/%20Bobwhite%20Quail}}{{Dead link|date=April 2020 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
