Quail or Bird Diet?

Currently have a 4 year old Jungle Carpet Python that was fed Live Guinea Pigs the last 2 years, I've had the snake for about a year now and have tried every trick in the book to get it to try to eat rats but nothing is working, live, F/T, prekilled, nothing at all!

Finally decided to try a f/t Quail 2 weeks ago and she ate it immediately, no hesitation what so ever. Tried again today and same result.

Now I have a breeder who can continue to provide Quail for me and at a better price than a rat. Can she just survive on Quail alone? I've read online many people have said yes, but wondering if anyone has had personal experience in this regards. Also, I have provided a picture of the size of Quail, if I go this route, how many do you think I should be feeding her and how often?

Side question, could it be another bird? Like a pigeon or duck, as I have a breeder for that as well. I plan on trying to do rabbit every 3rd feeding, as I get those for relatively cheap and I heard they are extremely good for snakes in terms of nutrients.

Thanks!
