Ohhhhh boy, chanz in playing my favorite game of "stump the trainer"! Hehehehe...
We've always had a vulo coop wagon with nesting boxes along the inside, and their pen around the wagon. I would assume they'd be caged or crated up, and those small enclosures then lashed down, to prevent them from... well... rattling around during some of those "touch and go" migration moments.
In
Nomads, Tuchuk Haruspexes confined vulo in cages made of sticks lashed together. I'm thinking those, or small metal sleen cages, with dried grasses in the botton for bedding and egg-laying, would be accurate.
As for the tarns... here it is, from our "Wagon Types" page on the General section of the website:
Tarn Cot Wagons: Although tarns were not normally found in a Wagon Camp, Tarl Cabot did introduce two of these majestic saddle birds to the Tuchuks during his stay on the plains. Since many of our members are Tuchuk by choice, not by birth, we do have accommodations for these huge winged predators. Due to the number of tarns currently residing in Maze Tuchuk Camp, our “tarn cots” are much larger than a single wagon with its canvass dome removed and are composed of two huge wagons arranged in an “L” shape, each one third of the size of DRAGONSLAIR and drawn by thirty-two bosk. Nevertheless, our arrangement is much the same as the following quote:
”On one of these wagons, with the top removed, were the two tarns Harold and I had stolen from the roof of Saphrar’s keep. They had been brought for us, thinking that they might be of use in the warfare in the city or in the transportation of goods or men. A tarn can, easily, without difficulty, carry a knotted rope of seven to ten men.”—Nomads, 256
I would think they'd be kept chained in those open-topped wagons during migration and fed haunches of verr and such that did not survive the trip... Although the saddle birds prefer the live kill, there are book quotes that support them being thrown large cuts of raw meat when such was not possible.
