now THAT is some cool and useful advice!!
Er... hmm, stainless steel bowls (each one is made of a single hollowed out block of steel, sold at some pet stores) make really good bowls for travel and show cages, as they are so heavy that the birds can't knock them over!
Carrying baby chicks in your jacket/apron pockets when you're doing chores really helps to socialize them and get them used to being held. (Seriously. I have a rooster that is one year old and STILL tries to crawl in my pockets!)
