Pairs is how they should be keep , please research to top breeder like Garrie Landry. Some people do keep them in other ways it is not what is best for the birds you can keep groups of pairs together.
Im not trying to argue, but I am just wondering. What makes Pairs so much better?
I keep all of mine together with absolutely no problems.
In the wild buttons live in pairs and have their own territory and are very territorial. I these group settings the male will breed all the females but he will have his bonded mate and they tend to pick on the others, you may have them all together with no problems but I promise it will not be like that forever and when the tide changes it will be ugly for the odd quail out. you can in a big enough space keep more then one pair, and I do keep pens of all males and all females. I have seen the damage buttons can do to each other not a nice thing at all. I have to give the proper info to people that ask the questions they can do with it as they will with it, I have studied these birds and taken the time to learn from the top breeder in the US, I have made the mistakes too, I had a group pen ran like a charm for over a year then one got a bug up its butt and all hades broke lose I had scalps torn off over night and buttons in pain and suffering because I chose not to take what the experts had to say, it was my poor little buttons that paid the price.
