That's a lot of changes at once for Dodo, and it's possible he could be a bit stressed out. Making sure Dodo has his own access to food, water, and perching spaces may help reduce stress. Birds do have periods of downtime during the day where they may nap, and they can do so as a group, so it may be you're noticing they're taking a collective nap, however after a bit they should return to normal activity. If anyone is constantly puffed, not eating or drinking, or otherwise appearing ill, removing them to a separate hospital cage, and keeping it warm and with access to food and water may help, in addition to seeking veterinary care.
