About Chinese Painted Button Quail
Chinese Painted Button Quail, sometimes called Button King Quail, are prized for their tiny size and ornamental nature. Unlike larger quail species, they are often kept for enjoyment rather than production and are especially popular in aviaries and small, well-managed enclosures.
They mature quickly, are fascinating to observe, and are well-suited for keepers who enjoy unique poultry species and hands-on care
