It has a little door on the front. It is actually a mesh cage made for reptiles, here is what it looks like -

I'm hoping to get the Buttons to a point where opening the cage frequently won't bother them, but we'll see

I love that cage and want a few myself. lol...

Well...
Quaillady beat me to the safe list. lol.. I had to leave for last min. shopping.

I have mint and Rosemary in my walk in Aviary, but no birds yet, so I don't know how bad they may nibble. Another thing you could do is shallow dishes or bird seed grass. Just plant a simple finch seed mix and it will grow like grass.

ETA: Plant several a few days apart and you can just rotate them.

Thats a great idea! I'm going to try that

Thanks

Replying so I will remember that list for later. It's awesome! Are there any kinds of grasses they shouldn't be around? I have Coturnix, not Buttons, but I'd imagine they're relatively the same, right?

This is wonderful information. Looking to plant some pretty greens around my new quail pen!

Hedera ivy ok or no?

Thank you for this! All of it was very helpful for me and my quail. I have gotten her baby tears and she seems to enjoy it.

Lavender works as a calming plant. You can grow it and dry or use an oil to keep your quail calm. I find the dry herb better because you can just sprinkle it around the cage. If you use the oil you can make a spray it or defuse it.
