the new birdies are coming
well today at 6:00 i am going to lucy's to pick up my new cockatiels. they have a clutch of 3 eggs so we are going to be very very gentle in moving them. i hope they dont abandon them. but i dont kno if they are fertile or anything. would it be wise to check the eggs for veins during the move, before or after? i dont want the mamma to abandon them. its bad enough we are moving them while nesting. but will the smell of a new person on their eggs force them to abandon them? also ... once i get them home should i cover the cage completely or leave some area to look around and see their new surroundings? their basket and nest are covered with a towel presently so i think i should leave it like that. in the move there will be me and 2 guys to move the cage overed in a sheet into the back of a truck. then we are going to cover the cage with heavier blankets and move htem abotu 1/2 mile down the road. then we are going to move them up 2 flights of steps into my airconditioned room, being extremly careful the entire way. any suggestions would be appreciated soo much.
