I had split choice for sleeping place yesterday- some of my birds lime the well- ventilated coop outside and some like to take the wall unit inside ( where they found comfort during the cold days in the winter too)..but obviously this comes with the expense of cleaning. Also I need to take longer than few days trips and I need someone to care for my animals OI wonder how others go about it? Give them to a local farm and hope they don't get bullied by other animals or ask someone to come in to feed and clean? What are your experiences?
