Pros: Small, Don't Eat A ton (In a good way), pretty colors and song, hatch quickly, friendly and don't peck at you
Cons: Bored easily, flighty, hard to tame, skittish
I would suggest these birds to someone who has had experience with some birds, not as a first pet to anyone. I am just starting to tame mine.
Besides that, let's move on. These are the most friendly birds I have met. (Pecking-wise.) I have never been pecked by one. Not even once.


Overall?
Are nice but that does not mean you should have them as a first pet!

Thanks for reading! This is my first review. I hope I did fairly well!
Pros: Pretty Colors, Cute, Very Tiny
Cons: Not Tame, Skittish
I've had Button Quail for 5 years and they are very cute. They don't like being held, but they are very quiet and are ground dwellers who clean up well. Very tiny, not messy.
Pros: steady layers don't eat much
Cons: none
Adorable little birds. I have a pair and plan to incubate the eggs this spring. They are very amusing and jump around but are quite quiet.
They leap into the air when startled so make sure their cage is secure. They do not roost at night so once they are out of the cage they won't come back and are easy prey to predators.
My male is not aggressive and are they quite affectionate towards each other and sleep together.
I have heard that they will go after smaller quail so I will need to keep chicks separate until they are grown.
I feed them the chicken crumble that I feed my chickens.

I think you did a fine job. You didn't demonize this breed like some might nor did you pill up too much praise. Your cautions were reasonable and in good spirit. Excellent Review...
