I got them from a bird faire, and about twenty or more of them were cramped up in a tiny cage. I brought mine home and cleaned all the hardened fecal matter off their feet and clipped their nails down that were way overgrown. While I don't have a super fancy house for them, it's kept clean. I have two large tubs that I cut the lid and put screening over with shavings at the bottom. It's not much but they're happy and get their food and water everyday.
