The breeder insists that I got a pair, but the more I look at them, the more uncertain I am. The brown one is definitely a male, as he has the bib...

I haven't been able to acquire an incubator that I like for their tiny eggs so I normally just take...

    Selectively breeding buttons for friendliness?

    Has anyone had success breeding their button quail for friendliness or tameness? I just got my first pair. The female is calmer than the male but they're both pretty skittish, and I understand this is the norm for them. The breeder gave me some weird looks when I asked if there were any that...

    Pet starling and quail?

    I'm considering getting a pet starling. I'm building an aviary for my button quail soon, would I be able to keep a starling with them? Or at least let the starling in with them sometimes to have more room to fly? Would they harass each other or would they be okay?
