Actually the Lord only gave the Israelites Quail two times.
He gave them Quail the night before He rained down Manna for the first time.
Ex. 16. 11-16
The LORD said to Moses,
"I have heard the grumbling of the Israelites. Tell them, 'At twilight you will eat meat, and in the morning you will be filled with bread. Then you will know that I am the LORD your God.' "
That evening quail came and covered the camp, and in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp.
When the dew was gone, thin flakes like frost on the ground appeared on the desert floor.
When the Israelites saw it, they said to each other, "What is it?" For they did not know what it was.
Moses said to them, "It is the bread the LORD has given you to eat.
This is what the LORD has commanded: 'Each one is to gather as much as he needs. Take an omer [a] for each person you have in your tent.' "
...................................................................................
The second time was when after awhile they got tired of eating Manna and started complaining again.
Numbers 11.4-6,31-34
The rabble with them began to crave other food, and again the Israelites started wailing and said, "If only we had meat to eat!
We remember the fish we ate in Egypt at no cost—also the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions and garlic.
But now we have lost our appetite; we never see anything but this manna!"
Now a wind went out from the LORD and drove quail in from the sea. It brought them [c] down all around the camp to about three feet [d] above the ground, as far as a day's walk in any direction.
All that day and night and all the next day the people went out and gathered quail. No one gathered less than ten homers. [e] Then they spread them out all around the camp.
But while the meat was still between their teeth and before it could be consumed, the anger of the LORD burned against the people, and he struck them with a severe plague.
Therefore the place was named Kibroth Hattaavah, [f] because there they buried the people who had craved other food.

These are the only times that the quail are referred to in other places in the bible.

In the outline within the Book of Exodus, manna is defined as being to be had six mornings per week, after the dew had evaporated.[one million] It is defined within the Book of Numbers as arriving with the dew in the course of the night time;[two] Exodus provides that manna used to be related to hoarfrost in measurement,[one million] in a similar fashion needed to be amassed earlier than it used to be melted by means of the warmness of the solar,[three] and used to be white like coriander seed in colour.[four] Numbers describes it as having the semblance of bdellium,[five] including that the Israelites flooring it up and pounded it into muffins, that have been then baked, leading to anything that tasted like muffins baked with oil.[6] Exodus states that uncooked manna tasted like wafers that were made with honey.[four] The Israelites had been advised to consume best the manna that they had accrued for on a daily basis. Leftovers or manna saved up for tomorrow "bred worms and stank":[7] the exception being the day earlier than Shabbat (Preparation Day), whilst two times the volume of manna used to be accrued, which failed to smash in a single day.[eight]
