So the Birds arrived yesterday & are fantastic a big thank you to Tumley Lofts , all the birds have been handled every couple of hours by me, both my son's & the boss, they seem very settled grooming each other, standing at full stretch with much flapping of wings, they are all feeding & drinking & are quite happy to have us in the loft with them I have left the cardboard box they arrived in, in the loft on it's side like a nest box we have cctv fitted in the loft & when it's lights out they all gather in the box for the night is this ok to let them use the cardboard box to sleep in ? or should I remove it ? they are resting up in the box as a group from time to time throughout the day.

It is fine Daz good to see they settling well, as they get older they will start to perch so will be off floor, are you going to let them out
