Button Quail Color Mix

A colorful assortment of Button Quail selected for variety, personality, and the distinctive small size that makes Button Quail unique.

Button Quail are a small, colorful quail variety offered in an assortment of naturally occurring color patterns. Rather than being sold as a single fixed color, this group may include a range of markings and shades, giving each bird its own individual appearance.

These tiny quail are active, attractive birds well suited for aviaries and experienced keepers looking for something different from standard Coturnix. Their compact size, varied coloration, and lively behavior make them especially interesting as ornamental birds.

Because this is a mixed-color group, specific colors and markings will vary from bird to bird and cannot be guaranteed unless otherwise noted.

Their very small size also makes Button Quail especially appealing for indoor setups. Compared with larger quail, they require less space and generally produce less odor and mess when their enclosure is kept clean. That makes them a practical option for hobbyists with limited space, including many apartment and indoor keepers.

Egg characteristics

Small eggs appropriate to the species, generally cream to light brown with natural spotting or mottling. Egg size and markings vary by hen.

Temperament

Active, alert, and quick-moving. Button Quail are generally more delicate and flighty than Coturnix and benefit from calm handling and secure housing.

Hand feed them mealworms and they will love to come to your hand

Sexing

Sexing varies by color and maturity. Some color varieties show clear male and female differences, while others may require closer observation as the birds mature.

Care notes

Provide secure housing with fine spacing, protection from drafts and predators, clean water, and an appropriately formulated game-bird or quail feed. Because of their very small size, care should be taken to prevent escapes and injuries.

Additional notes

Because of their compact size and relatively low space requirements, Button Quail can work very well in indoor enclosures. With proper cleaning and ventilation, they are typically less messy and less odorous than larger quail, making them a popular choice for smaller homes and apartments.
