Going on Vacation

[Wolf]

You dad coming over and spending time with her is not the same thing as you to your bird, but if she really likes him it should help her a lot.

Good idea about the favourite foods. I was also thinking about stocking up on some foraging treats that will give her something to do in her cage, that can be rotated daily. My parents have also offerdd to come a few times over those 6 days to sit with her for a couple hours, which is great. She loves my dad, since she is a big fan of men, so that should make her happy!

That's good! Seeing somebody familiar and that they like goes a long way to reassuring them. But don't be offended or even surprised if she is mad at you when you come back because they go both ways: they are either ecstatic you are back and show it or they are mad because you disappeared and show it too!
