So we finally got them today!!!! 2 buttons, thanks for all of your help with cage questions, sexing etc.! Pretty sure it's a male and female- saw them breed in at the feed store, then one layed an egg on the car ride home. In the new cage the male (Pappus) has displayed offering the female (Fawkes) pieces of food, grass, wood chips and unfortunately poo. So my questions... 1) their bald backs are simply due to molting... right? I mean 0 feathers on the back between the wings- look like they are ready to be cooked up. 2) what color is she? (i assume the male is silver red breasted?) I decided to go with a cage for them- hoping the spacing of the bars isnt too dangerouse though the bottom 6 inches + is plastic so they cant really get to the bars to try to wiggle through (fingers crossed). Maybe i will post a pic of that tomorrow and ask again. Here they are (he is displaying with a piece of grass in this pic- she stepped right over him and went to harvest her own though).
