I just had a white or silver hatch this morning.

I think it might be the only one from this hatch, there were only 5 eggs and the others haven't so much as pipped yet.
I plan to stick them in a rabbit cage and keep them indoors as pets

Cute little eggies... I can't wait.

 

[redhen]

aww!...so cute!..look at the expression on his face!...

.....do you get alot of eggs?..(hint/hint)...

They're similar to finches or parakeets... pretty to look at, lovely to listen to, but really small pets.

They are little Hoovers if you house them with a parrot or cockatiel that likes to spill their food.

 

[redhen]

ooh..so i can house them with my 'tiel?....he is so wasteful!..

..only wants the "best" seeds out of the bag!....so thats good to know, thanks! Wendy

Buttons are ground dwellers, so yes - they would be perfect in a cockatiel cage.
