All my breeders are in 11" x 11" cages, they have external waterers (parakeet) and small 'bowls' for their food. They do fine.

I think that, buttons were kept in colonies, and they didn't breed true, so we can help that by pairing?

Maybe you should start educating folks around you that they are monogamous. I sell to aviaries as well with the understanding that I sell in pairs. Now if the aviary is huge with a lot of territorial areas, you can have more than one pair in there.

Can buttons ever be kept on ground in summer?

 

[Stellar]

Sure they can but moving them would be a hassel

You will have to worm them and get a new cage. And take them inside some nights...
