Going to be new to button quail

[laura123gomez]

Hi I'm going to be new to this whole thing about owning button quail. I have a large Bird Aviary with 30+ parakeets, cockatiels, and love birds; my aviary is 11ft long x 8ft wide x 7ft high so I was wondering how many quails can I have in there? How many males & females? And will they be ok with my birds?
Thanks in advance

I know we have members with mixed breed aviaries but, don't recall what breeds they used. Maybe if you put "aviaries" in the searchbox some of them might come up.

In addition to the Quail forum, there are some articles about raising quail in the Learning Center:

Hope you find those helpful!
