I moved 8 Cockatiels yesterday. Since many do not want touched, I bated small cages with millet. Tommy and Tammy were easy. The others took a while. I was so tired last night that I left Shadow, Lacy and Louise in the guest room. I will move them today.
My son took pictures of the empty room that I will send as soon as I figure out how.
It hurts. I know Wolf wanted to see the room when I finished.
Those sitting on nests I scooped up in paper bags, fake eggs and all. Maggie and Andy were easy since they were together on the nest when I went for them. They had taken over a corner of a big box so I just scooped them into a bag with their eggs. Flutter was still sitting on the nest. He had been the one to mate with Tweet. I was not sure until he started sitting on the nest when she was gone. I scooped him with nest box and all. I did not want to separate him from his responsibilities.
The nesters are all sitting on fake eggs.
