What about king quail? What are your thoughts on those? Can they deal with the heat? Can budgies cope with 40 degree days outside?

Also are king quail and Button Quail the same?

Also are king quail and Button Quail the same?

It depends, in America lots of people call king quail "button quail" but button quail are actually a separate species. It can get rather confusing but if you look at pictures you'll notice they look extremely different. They are also in a different scientific family than one another.

Buttonquail (Turnicidae)

King quail or Chinese painted quail (Phasianidae)
*if you look up button quail it will come up with both as many people call king quail "button quail"*

Here are some pics of male (first image) and female (second image) Japanese Quail, or Coturnix Japonica:

Then of course there's Chinese Painted Quail, Coturnix Chinensis (aka Button Quail), one of my favorite breeds.
Here are a Button quail cock/rooster and hen (male on left, hen on right):

I like my coturnix they are cold hardy not sure about heat though.

Yes, as ejtrout31 said, Coturnix are cold hardy but may not do so well in heat. I don't know about Button Quail heat tolerance though. You can check out this link (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/quails-tolerance-to-heat.919450/) or look at the photo for some advice from dc3085.

Good luck with choosing a breed,
