Well... The point of Buttonquail pretty much the same as the point of aquarium fish... Fun to watch.. if you have lots of time on your hands and hatch them out yourself, then you maybe able to tame them. They are small birds... And TINY eggs... Even though they are really large for their body size. These are my hands... they aren't big hands at all... the hads of a 13year old girl.. (this is when I first got them.)

Those are tiny. Lol. I was just being curious. I see them a lot when I got to order quail eggs.

They're adorable little birds that make much better indoor pets than basically every other bird species currently in the trade. Mostly because they don't fly, and aren't smart enough to need much enrichment other than a few things to do.

oh boy... Don't underestimate the power of these tiny birds'....they may not "fly"... But they sure can get off the ground and take a joy flight!

Correction: they don't need to fly. They can be kept in a very short cage with no flight room. They can and will fly if spooked and trying to escape, but you don't need to give them room in which to do so like you do just about every other bird.
