I have a pair with 4 chicks ranging in age from 17 days - 9 days old. The birds are in a room which gets used by my kids to play/watch TV etc., but is pretty quiet in there during weekdays.

 

I have recently changed my avairy so I have an area sectioned off for my breeding cabinets (no other birds in this area).

 

My cousin is arriving in 8 days to stay with us for a couple of weeks and we were going to put him up in the room the birds are in. Between the parents and the chicks, they are quite noisy now!

 

I'm wondering if I should move the birds into the new section in the avairy or whether this will upset them too much. So far I have had no beahvioural issues and the parents seem to be doing a great job raising the chicks. Everything is going really well, but I'm wondering if I'll upset the apple cart if I move them.

 

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

it is not imposable but it can turn good to ****

my advice is he will need to put music in his ears and deal with it as the carts not turned so dont turn it

LOL - thanks GB. I might have to get my kids to share a room while my cousin's here so he can sleep in one of their rooms or, as you said, he'll have to deal with it!!

If you are just moving a breeding cage to another location you should be okay to do that. If you are taking them out of the cage and boxes then NO it wouldnt work out. Moving a breeding cage generally is an okay thing to do.

Thanks Kaz - I'm only relocating the cage to a different spot, not taking them out or changing nest boxes.

that is true but ive done it many times no probbs but as this is your first pair and chicks i would leave be if mum decides to not feed or leave nest from being moved you have no pairs to take babys

he can deal with it

I moved house with a breeding cage, Mum, Dad and chicks/eggs (can't remember what stage they were at). They couldn't stay where they were as they needed regular checking so had to come with me. I had no problems. The choice is yours though...

I move breeding cages from one spot to another all the time. I also moved a whole aviary of breeding budgies from a house before this one to this house.

You will have no trouble if you move this breeding cage to another location I am sure of that.

Do it quickly and cover the cage as you move it if you like, but all will be okay

i moved my whole flock when breeding had to move very quick due to circumstances all were fine but one hen

even on black saturday i moved few pairs with eggs and some with young chicks in a traler from neerim south to springvale

all was fine even had a chick hatch on way

but i just want you to know sometimes they dont like the place their moved to so will come off eggs spesh if movng to outside from in may abandon nest from sudden change

but as i said only one ever has do that for me all rest were fine i moved 8 breeding pairs and 4 the trip to springvale

as maesie said its up to you really
