To people that make their living raising animals, it is a big thing, not a germaphobe.
And it will be hard on the birds. I have moved animals, and it is a big responsibility. Makeshift set ups can cause over heating, spilt water becomes a lack of water, cramped areas can cause fighting and feather picking. Piled up manure is a real part of this and disposal of that manure is difficult on the road. Then you put these highly stressed birds into a new set up, where who knows what germs are there. They will be susceptible to new germs. These are all real possibilities.
The advice above of doing this at a separate time, from when the family moves is very good advice.
Pretending that this will be a easy deal is irresponsible in my opinion. I was not trying to be rude, I was trying to avoid a wreck where the birds have a good chance of either dying, becoming sick or being injured.
