Quinoa is capable of producing a plentiful amount of seed and therefore is a popular choice of crop for holding partridge and pheasant.

Many species of seed-eating song-birds are also attracted to the crop.

Commonly grown with kale, quinoa provides cover and feed until it begins to collapse in the first frosts with the kale providing more permanent cover
