Cockatiel Cage Transfer: Boosting Chick Production in a New Environment

New Cockatiel Cage Setup

• 🐦 A new, larger cage has been prepared for the cockatiels, designed to provide a better and more spacious environment.
• 💡 The cage is a significant upgrade, built with more durable materials and intended as a permanent home for the birds.
• 🛠️ The setup process involved carefully scrutinizing all elements to ensure it was ready for occupancy.

Farm Development and Material Sourcing

• 🏗️ The farm is undergoing development, with friends in construction providing waste building materials like broken cement and hollow blocks for free.
• 💰 While the materials are free, transportation costs (gasoline) are incurred, but this is seen as a significant blessing that solves the farm's problem of lacking dry, elevated land.
• 📈 This development allows for the expansion and elevation of land, creating more suitable space for housing animals.

Cockatiel Transfer and Bird Stress Management

• ⚠️ Transferring birds to a new environment can significantly affect breeding and requires time for adjustment.
• 💊 To mitigate stress during the transfer, anti-stress supplements and dextrose powder are recommended for three days prior to and after the move to prevent diarrhea and potential death.
• 😟 The cockatiels are observed to be initially astonished and shocked by the new environment, showing apprehension about the new perches and space.

Future Cage Additions and Bird Territoriality

• 📦 Nest boxes are planned additions to the new cage, with new ones needing to be constructed as the old ones are unusable.
• 🏡 Providing multiple nest box options is crucial, as birds are territorial and benefit from having choices for their territory.
• 🗣️ The owner reassures the cockatiels that this is their final move and encourages them to thrive in their new, permanent home.

Upcoming Animal Transfers

• 🦎 Lizards are scheduled to be transferred to another cage on Saturday.
• 🐍 Two large snakes, recently acquired from a prestigious farm, will be introduced on Sunday, promising an exciting event.
