Do coturnix quails produce dust and dander?

Do coturnix quails produce dust and dander likes chickens and pigeons? Because I want to keep a few quails indoors as pets. From what I read online parakeets, conures, macaws and lovebirds don’t produce dust. But what about coturnix quails?

Yes. It comes from their bedding/poop being scratched and from their skin and feathers

All birds are dusty to an extent. Poultry especially from their bedding and they literally bathe in dust to keep clean.

Oh, yes. Lots and lost of dust if you keep them indoors.

If I keep just three coturnix quails indoors inside a clear storage container will I develop allergies or bird fancier lung syndrome?

Therebprobably wouldn't be nearly enough ventilation unless you had a screened lid. I really just wouldn't keep them indoors period

Would it be better if I keep them in an outdoor cage, but the tamest one I can bring indoors for a few hours to play with and then put it back outdoors?

I wouldn't take them out unless needed. They aren't really pet birds that enjoy being handled for fun
