I have never heard of Busy Birds, but I am so thankful that Moving Staffers recommended them. Fantastic job and service. Have had several moves in the past and this was by far the best crew. They were punctual, prepared and ready to start work immediately, worked extremely hard and efficiently the whole time they were here. All the while being super polite and professional. They treated our home and belongings with such care. I would highly recommend Busy Birds to anyone. They really did help lessen the stress of moving. Thank you Busy Birds. Job well done!
