This is a very generic article, but more information would be great. I am moving 17 birds in a van in the middle of winter cross country. Any tips would be great! Has anyone ever used the Hot Hands in the bottom of cages to keep radiant heat, in addition to the heat in the vehicle? I have the cages, but would love help on this.
