Is it less stressful to introduce traveling to my bird by keeping him covered where he might feel safer or keep his travel cage uncovered where he can see everything going on?

I am the proud owner of a 3yo CAG. I am going to be moving to a new house within the next 4-6wks and need any advice that I can get on how to make this big of change as low stress as possible on my baby. My bird is extremely timid and fearful of new objects/people and has not travelled since I brought him home (2-1/2 yrs ago). I have to exercise extreme patience even when I clean his cage. He is otherwise very sociable and loves to hang out with me but the smallest things, like having wet hair, will freak him out. How can I make him more comfortable with change and move him to a new home without any serious physical or mental damage to him?
