Need some help with care sheet

[KDK241]

I found a great home for 2, possibly 3 of the rescued tiels. She came out today to see them and she was great, asked all the right questions and really seems like she wants to give them the best home possible. I told her I would send along some information on caring for them along with their food and some other items. I have the baiscs down like what they are currently eating, what fresh and cooked foods they will eat, what they should be eating and trying and I was wondering what else I should put on there. I told her about teflon and am going to make another sheet of bird no-no's with toxic foods, etc. Am I missing anything? She will have the number to the closest avian vet in her area as well, along with emergency vet information. She asked me to show her how to clip wings and I did but we agreed that I would come out and help her the first time they need their wings clipped and are going to keep in touch. She has been reading and doing research as well but I want to make sure I give her all the information as well, especially since I have never re-homed any of my birds before.

You may want to include a list of signs a bird is sick and what to do if a bird appears sick. Also include appropriate cage sizes for one or more birds, safe cage liners, best ways to clean cage, and be sure to include information about toys and perches!

Hmm if shes been doing research she probably already knows that tiels need their sleep. That they can startle. Not to expose them to drafts. That colds can be serious and keeping them warm if they appear sick is a good first line of defense. Maybe include a list of poisionous and non poisionous houseplants. Be careful to introduce them to mirrors and windows. Dangers of cat bacteria. I think the birdboard link is a great idea!
