As a large cockatiel breeder, I live in a rural city, and we have water outages here all the time, I keep water jugs on hand filled for when the city turns it off……………now I'm not a 20,000 birds in one cage/house………..problem but getting water to that many birds with no electricity…………..they would loose the small ones or babies in eggs. They would loose the big ones when they run out of water. plus not being able to run fans. Chickens drink way more than a cockatiel. When it really gets hot, I spray water…………but all these things are something you don't really think about until you don't have that service.
This would be a night mare for me…………..and I'm way smaller. I wouldn't want to be in their shoes………..right now. Or at any given time………..
I also have a garden, and I keep jugs of water around for the plants also when the city turns the water off, the city has turned the water off for about 5 days. I had an electrical surge and that took out our power for 3 weeks. But had back up on that…….you can always do an generator………but the water is a killer.
