let the birds settle for a few weeks in the cot getting used to it, then let them out when they are a little hungry.
throw some little seed stuff in front of the cot.
let them pick around and get used to the cot, after a good length of time let them back into the cot..repeat this several times untill they feel comfortable coming in and out. |

any chance you could get some aviary sections (borrow). birds can come in/out, have good look round..then 1 day take roof section off. once birds are confident take aviary away. i let out some ybs last week that i was given in june..no probs. |

i wouldn't leave it as long as i did, i hasen to add. once they've sat in aviary about a week..have a go before they get to strong. i allways like a dull/wet but calmish day. |
