I don't know what to do.
Trying to keep a long story short...we are going to have someone working in our apartment shortly.
The plaster on one wall in our bedroom has been crumbling for some time now. There is no mold problem.
The work will entail removing all of the plaster, down to the brick. Then, I suppose they will use drywall and then paint.
I know how sensitive budgies are to smells and do not want them to have any respiratory problems.
A friend of mine offered to let me use her house while they are working in here.
Here are my questions:
Would it be better to keep them here, in another room, with the bedroom sealed off, or to put them in a box and transport them in the car twice a day? I would them put them in their cage after getting to my friend's house.
I know the travelling will be very stressful for them. I wouldn't leave them there overnight alone. (My friend is in the process of selling her home, so it's vacant) So, we are talking 2 car trips a day for an unknown number of days.
I heard there is some kind of low-odor paint. Do you have any info on it and if it is safe around birds?
I imagine that someone has gone through this at some point. I hope someone can tell me what to do.
Thanks,
Christine
PS: Just found out they are starting Friday morning! ARGH!
Hope someone can answer this soon.
