G,day Everyone

I'm having my old man send my old trainers to me so that i can get back into the sport. Seeing as I now live on the other side of australia to him, what is the best and safest way to get the birds over here without snapping a wing or two? He is talking about knocking up a wooden box to fit them into but considering the probable weight cost and his lack in abilities with a hammer and nail, surely there must be a better way.

Cheers
