A few years ago I noticed the zebra finches and other small birds at Petsmart when I was buying fish stuff. They really amazed me but I knew that I couldnt get any at the time. Now I saw them again at a different store and I have a few questions about raising them. Any responses will be helpful...

Is it alright to feed millet to your quail? I have two plants growing and I already fed a few little sprinkles to them and they went crazy. But then I found one dead the next day. I am not sure if it died from the millet because I never saw the Coturnix eating the millet. The dead one was a hen...

I have all mine together and each breed kinda mingles by themselves. My Mexican BWs always stay paired up and the BWs are getting a little calmer but they each mingle in pairs most of the time. Then my A&Ms always stay together along the fence. I never see them in the middle of the pen. I just...
