If the aviary is outside, you can still do what Greycloud suggested and catch them when it is getting darker. Although this is probably not a good idea because the budgies will be stressed because they can't see the new place you put them...

When I catch my birds, I normally wait until they land on the cage mesh at a certain point and quickly net them. Sometimes the other birds do get in the way and you have to wait for them to move. It does need to be done quickly to minimise stress in the birds, but I understand it does take a while and improves with practice.

My cockatiels are currently breeding with budgies, turks, and ringneck doves in the aviary.

Good luck! I hope it all works out.
