Did God violate free will in Exodus 16?

[Knowing Thomas]

Hello everyone! A few days ago I was thinking of the story of the Exodus and how God provided for the Israelites via quail and manna.

Would this mean that God took control over the minds of the quail, violating their free will? (Yes I know this probably sounds absolutely ridiculous, but I thought it was interesting to think about )

Yes, yes it does. Birds ain't sapient.

[Cow Poke]

It complies with God's intent that animals be subject to humans - we have dominion over them.

[Sparko]

There is nothing that says God can't violate our own free will either, when it suits his plans. Like when he made Jonah go to Nineveh.

I'm not so sure the quail had free will to begin with.

He just heard a couple of CP's jokes attempts at humor. You can tell by the combined look of someone who is both in pain and nauseous.
