vacation

I have had this lovebird for around eight months (unsure of gender, referring as "her"), and I absolutely love her. My family and I work from home, so we always have her flying around the home, eating fresh foods, and bonding with us. She is always sitting on one of our shoulders or playing...

Some context: It's a 5.5 year old cockatiel, been with us for the majority of its life. From what I know it only likes to be outside of the cage and prefers eating and drinking if out of the cage. We only use the cage for vet visits. On the 21st (figured I'd look for answers in advance), we will...

Hi everyone! I own a 11 month old Indian ring neck parrot and I LOVE HIM to death. He is my beautiful beautiful baby. I am leaving for 5 weeks to go on a holiday trip in a month time and I don’t know how I’m going to leave him. I will be leaving him at a family members house as they have birds...

I have a 4 month cockatiel. I’m leaving for vacation on this Saturday, for 2 weeks. I already found someone to watch my bird. (she has experience with birds) Is there anything that I should be worried about, or am I gonna lose the bond with my bird when I’m gone? Should I tell the person who’s...

I have had my sun conure since October of last year at 10 weeks old, and I am generally new to having a parrot (had budgies before). We get along great minus some bites here and there lol. But I have a question, this summer my family is having a big wedding in our back home country. Is it ok for...

Hi everyone!! So I am going on vacation this Monday, and my aunt is babysitting my budgie Tweety bird. I’ve had him for a year and we have bonded a lot.I’ve educated my aunt with all the stuff she needs to know to babysit him. I am bringing him to her tomorrow and He will be staying in his...

Hey! Been a while since I've been here. I'm going to be visiting my dad in another country for a month, and will be leaving my lovie with my mother and a friend. They will be supplying him with water and food everyday, keeping him company by sitting and talking to him, but aren't able to take...

Hello :) My sun conure, Skyler, is 4 months old and has been biting me. The bites used to seem like they were just playful and happened when he was too excited or when climbing all over me and he needed grip. Whenever he bites, I calmly but firmly tell him “no biting” and put him away for a...

Hello :) I have a 5 week old sun conure and I live with my family. My living situation is complicated and I am being forced to go on a vacation with them. I am hand feeding my bird at the moment. I don’t have anyone who can bird sit for me and I really don’t feel comfortable leaving him with...

Hey all I have a crimson belly Conure who I’ve had since he was 3 months old, and he’s been with me for about a year and a half. In this time the most I’ve ever been away from him has been the occasional overnight stay during which my parents looked after him (they also have a bird so they put...

Yay! Vacation! Two days ago on Monday we arived in Bluffton! As soon as I opened the travel carrier Kiwi flew out onto my head! (he really wanted to get out) We got to Bluffton at around 8:30 (Kiwi's Travel Journal coming soon) so I set up the cage! Fast foward to yesterday, we went to...

I’ve has my bird, Jello, for a year now, but today we are leaving to go to Germany for 4 weeks. Jello will be staying with my dad, for the first two weeks. I’m worried that Jello will get lonely, because he works in finance and his work goes from 8:30 to 7PM, longer than usual work hours. I...

Wanted to post this where it might get the most traffic! I'm a new bird owner and have a GCC of 6 months old (my first bird). I am planning a week long vacation in mid July and have no idea where to start with finding a service that will watch my bird while I am gone. Do those services exist...

Hello, I'm currently leaving for a trip of 4 days and 3 nights. I have 2 lovebirds, one green and yellow. If they have sufficient water and food, would they be stressed over the days? Only day 2 and 3 I won't be able to see them. Nobody is avaliable to help me care for my lovebirds over the...

Hi, We are going away for 3 days. We have two budgies in the same cage. We have auto feeders for food and clean water. Is it possible to leave them alone for 3 days? Please share your thoughts and experiences. Thank you in advance! Kike

I'm leaving on vacation for about two weeks in January, I have had my conure for almost a year and he is bonded to both my boyfriend and I, we live together. I got him from a friend who had him for about six months, she was good to him but didn't have time for him so he spent a lot of time in...

(This is the friendliest budgie, she decided to take a bath in a wet leaf in my hand, literally the first time she ever did anything like this) Hello! I have two budgies that are housed separately because they don't really get along. I have been working to tame them for about a year now but only...

I'm going on a long trip next summer and am getting a green cheek. I've heard many people comment that if you have a bird you just don't go on vacation but that isn't a option for me (I'm a minor). It's a family vacation to Europe for 6 weeks and I don't know what to do!! I have some time but I...

Has anyone had experience boarding birds? Just wondering what to do if I travel outside the US. My Gray goes with me on most road trips, I also have a Goffins, a conure, a budgie and a cockatiel. Maybe pay a pet sitter? Most are only experienced with dogs and cats...

Hi there. I live in the Buffalo, NY area and have a Sun Conure named Piper. My family and I go on vacation frequently I'd say, but it is usually only for a few days to a week, and we always get a family friend in the neighborhood to visit the house every day in order to change Piper's water and...
