About the Ivory Button Quail
Ivory is a recognised combination of the Silver and Cinnamon mutations rather than a single gene, giving an overall pale ivory hue noticeably lighter than Silver alone, with the cock's breast a soft grey. Because it stacks two dilutions, it sits among the paler, more delicate colour forms of the breed. It is otherwise the same thumb-sized, easy aviary bird.
