in light of my new whydah finch and button quail I'm trying to figure out what to line my cage with that will be good for both the quail and the finch

what do you use?
~Amon Amarth~ Male Black-face Zebra finch
~Celebdil~ Female CFW Zebra Finch
~Erebor~ Male lightback Zebra Finch
~Anduin~ Male juvenile Zebra Finch(hatched 9/15/14 from C/E)

Current clutch: Celebdil/Erebor
~Glanduin~ hatched 10/29/14

I have an aviary with a concrete floor. I do not have button quail yet but I have thought of getting a couple.
the floor is about 6'x7'. I was thinking of filling those plastic ground cover flats with some type of dirt, maybe decomposed granite and placing 3 or four at one end of the aviary.

I think you Wydah will just deal with whatever flood you choose for your quail. The floor of the cage is not a priority for the wydah but it is for the quail.
