with this weather they wouldnt know what was what ...anyhoo you can get a moulting aid ....if you have nests in the cage I might think they should come out until the moult is finished ....new home , moulting and then egg laying might just be too much for them.

We made up a special seed mix for ours, according to one of our books. Couldn't get all the seeds they suggested though.
25% French millet
5% hungarian millet
10% japanese millet
5% red millet
45% canary seed
5% Niger seed.

Most of these seeds can be bought from bird supplier shops. I hope this helps.
