Outside in the sun
We wanted to finish up our raised boxes for the vegetables I plan to grow over the summer this morning so Léa got to come outside in her travel cage when it was her time to come out of her cage, while we took advantage of the fleeting shade on that side of the property to get what we wanted done.
She was fairly quiet, only did her phone noise a few times and that was about it. She seemed to observe her surrounding (was a bit concerned when a giant crow landed on the neighbour's roof, which I kept an eye on until it left) and even felt comfortable to play with a wooden toy that was in the cage at one point.
The plan was to get things ready to be able to bring the little ones out in the evening when it cooled down a bit out there (our backyard has a southern exposition - it gets hot!), however, clouds are coming in rather quickly and there are some drops of rain at the moment. It'll be for another day.
It's so nice to be able to do this now. I was reluctant to bring the birds out in small cages on the balcony at the apartment as there were a number of pigeons around (including two who seemed to want to call our balcony home) and with their feces around..I didn't want to take a chance with any disease transmission. Next year we do plan on having a proper deck installed in the back and I'd like to have it enclosed to act as an aviary and won't have to bother with bringing the birds out in cages at all.

All is ready..
..for Léa's arrival tomorrow.
The transport cage has been cleaned and the perches adjusted for her.
The quarantine cage has been scrubbed down and set-up as well.
Having realized I needed a sheet to cover Léa's cage at night as well as wanting something soft to put in the bottom of her carrier in case she has issues perching in there while we move, we went out and purchased the extra sheet as well as a regular towel to line the travel cage. The perches in that cage are relatively low so if she fell off, it wouldn't be from very high but I'm still happy to have something cushion her landing if she does.
Now all is left to do is wait...the car ride there will appear much longer than it actually is I'm sure.
