We have a parrotlet, Pichu, who really struggled when we left for 3 weeks last Summer. We will be gone 3.5 weeks this year... Last year he went crazy after a couple of weeks of being prisoner in his cage (he is used to be out every day and hang out with us). He started being agitated and attacked the bird-keepers when they came to feed him. When we came back he was angry at us, biting and refusing to be pet for a veeeery looooong time.
So I don't know what to do with him this year, and start considering taking him with us, although that's not ideal, I don't even know if we would be allowed to take him over the borders but that's for another thread. You would think a little bird was easier to travel with than a big dog. It's not. Lots of places won't accept birds, although they accept dogs. But then, just theoretically for now.. Has any of you taken their bird with them on vacation?
How did ou do it? What did you need to think about? How did you compensate for housing that were not bird-safe?
