my fiance and I keep our quail indoors, and we now have 1 male and 4 females. We have found that a good way to control odor is a mix for the dust bath of 8 parts sand and 2 parts dried coffee grounds works very well for keeping the odor of the birds themselves down. another thing we do is add 2 tablespoons of water to a 1 gallon jug of water and use that when we fill the water dispensers. this seems to help control the smell from their poop. we have had them indoors since we got them with no problems, and I also have a very sensitive nose.
