haven't got a second aviary to move them to :/
I do have a fairly large (tall) cage,but I would really prefer not to be trying to catch them - even the trap causes a lot of chaos in my small aviary

Yep nestbox, but there are others in the aviary.
Thanks for the suggestions :) will give some a try and see how they go.
