If your birds are currently laying on a nest of eggs it would be best to try and find someone to care for them at home as the movement and jostling of being on a flight could be enough to crack or break the eggs, killing the babies inside. Flights are also very stressful for birds. If you must take them on the flight, checking with your airline to see what the regulations for transporting birds are is best. Keeping them in a small flight cage that can be covered and stocked with food and water is best to help reduce stress and ensure your birds have access to food and water at all times.
