Greetings to all bird owners
I have recently adopted two bonded lovebirds. They are such 'butts' as my partner and I call them. They are sneaky butts and they are always trying to find places to hide in. They are flighted birdies and we let them out to fly around in the apartment approximately 2-4 hours a day, and they seem to be relatively content and seem to have settled in well with us so far. Mango and Thunderpants are 'semi-tame,' however they do not 'need' human affection. They really only care about each other, if truth be told.
I have a question to bird owners that go on vacation/travel with birds that are flighted:
How do you manage to do so? And what situations are the birds kept in during your time away? What arrangements have you made?
I have done some research on bird sitters in the city I live in, and I have found that bird sitting companies will not let the birds out of their cage when doing 'daily visits' if the birds' wings are not clipped. Which I understand because it would be very difficult to get flighted birds back into their cages.
Although this is the case.. wing clipping is really a last resort for me. :S
Any feedback/experience/guidance would be appreciated.
Thank you!!!
