Agreed, and I can do it on an incoming or crossing dove. But, if you've never shot a covey rise of wild bobwhites, it's hard to imagine the quickness with which they attain their full flight speed, and most are going away, either straight or at some angle.

Shooting clays can be good practice for that. I can often see the rings on a clay bird and many times can see the rotation. But, focusing on a flushing quail's eye is just over the top.
