vacations

Postby GK-RCMP » Fri Feb 07, 2014 11:21 am

I am a new owner of a Jardine's parrot, and made plans for vacation in April (1 wk). Unfortunately I can't take him with me. Was wondering which is best for the bird, 1. Have someone come in 2 or three times a day, or 2. Take him to someone to look after him.

Look into your local Avian Vet for bird boarding. Or, do you have a family member who can care for your bird?

There may be professional exotic bird pet sitters in your area, as well. Try Googling your area and "parrot pet sitter"

Take a different vacation. Oops, not one of the options.
Smuggle the bird along, sorry , still not right.

Well so much for attempt at humor.

It is at best not a good place to be. Do you have someone that you trust and the bird likes that could take him in for the time you will be gone?
