Possible definitions for quachil
quadrille
Dance for four couples in square formation, fashionable in the late 18th and 19th cent. Imported to England from Parisian ballrooms in 1815, it consisted of four or five contredanses, each danced with prescribed combinations of intertwining figures rather than depending on intricate individual steps. It was often danced to opera melodies. The term is also used for a form of Amer. square dance.
quail
Any of several species of short-tailed game birds (family Phasianidae), some with a head plume that is straight or curled forward. Species range from 5 to 13 in. (13-33 cm) long. Some of the 95 Old World species have leg spurs, but the 36 New World species never do. Quails prefer open country and brushy borders. The male may help incubate the 12 eggs. Quails mainly eat seeds and berries but also leaves, roots, and insects. The common quail (Coturnix coturnix) of Eurasia and Africa is the only migratory bird in the order Galliformes. Quails are generally smaller than partridges. See also bobwhite.
