Things like moving to a new Aviary. In my case coming from a warehouse, for now. Where 1,500(or more) birds are taken care of daily.

So,for those that are moving birds to a new place (enviroment). or where other animals that are there also .

What do you do to help them with stress?

The only thing you can do is give them peace, quiet, and adequate time to adjust to their new surroundings. :) Have food and water in multiple places (even maybe in bowls on the ground) so that food is easily found and recognized. Birds are very resilient creatures -- eventually, they will accept, adapt, and prosper. Good luck! :)

I agree totally with bugaboo and can only add not to over crowd them in their cage.

Usually birds that are overcrowded or brought to a better environment will appreciate space, good foods, a bath and a chance to spread their wings. They may not have had room to fly well so provide a few low branches/perched until they get the feel of the enclosure. Use foods bowls along with feeders at first so they get use to were the food is. I bet within a week they will settle in nicely for you.

I figure just doing what I do normally. So they get use to the sounds and movement of the house also.
