Fishers and budgies cage shifting

I have pair of Fisher bird and budgie pair. Both are in separate cages and both have laid eggs and hatched 3-4 babies just few days before. Question is that I want to shift both pairs in other new cages during babies hatching period. As current cage is not in good condition anymore. So can i shift them in this period? Or after shifting will it effect on going to their babies in nest and feeding them or not?

Hi Meraj,

As with your cockatiels, you need to leave the pairs alone or risk them abandoning or even killing the chicks if you try to move them.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,
