So, when upgrading cages, it didn't occur to me that I might run into an issue of getting the budgies into the new cage. The cages being different colors doesn't help (white vs black).
I had to cover their old one with a sheet to "hide" it until I can break it down and get it out of the bird room because they kept landing on it. I moved the new old to the same place the old one was, but they refused to get near it.
I did have the brilliant idea to stick the tiels in the new cage, which helped some - the budgies wouldn't go in the cage still, but they at least landed on the cage.
But the question remains - how do I get them inside? There's no way to dim lights (large window, no curtain). Think they'll make it in on their own this evening?
