If there cere was a dark crusty brown then you have females, males ceres do not go this colour.

I am not too sure about dry wall as all my birds are caged when breeding with nest boxes.

The risks i think there maybe is tiny parasites that live in the walls may attack the birds and any chicks which could result in very sick or dead birds.

If you plan on breeding them i suggest putting them in pairs into cages with a nest box just to be safe.
