Its really a family project thing - a couple of eggs a day would be fine though.

But the scratching has me worried. Thing is I couldnt keep them in a cage because the cage would only be a couple of metres square and I cant do that to an animal (says he talking about clipping wings!) I wonder if they would levitate to the shaded borders? I have bamboo and other stuff that is like a mini woodland. Or is this just wishful thinking?

I wouldn't feel any guilt over wing-clipping. Done the right way, it is a hair cut that will grow back and doesn't hurt the bird at all.

As for your grass, I think it depends on how many birds and what kind of grass. We never had problems, but we have bermuda grass, we can rototill it in and not kill it.
