5 days without my bird - worries from a bird' single mom

[flawless]

Hello everyone,
I am Italian but I live in Spain, and I am the proud owner of a Blue and gold Macaw called Maurice. My ex husband and I bought Maurice from a parrot breeder near Gibraltar, 2 and a half year ago, when he was 6 months old approx. From the very beginning, Maurice showed a quite strong preference for me and has always let me pet, feed and carry him in a much more privileged way. Unfortunately, my husband and I divorced 6 months ago, and I am now a 'single mom'. The fact that Maurice remained with me seemed the most natural thing to both my ex husband and I, plus I am the only one who can offer him a stable routine as I do not need to travel for business on a constant basis. If the bond between my bird and I was strong even before, now we have come to develop a sort of 'addiction' to each other. Of course I do have to spend 8-10 hours in the office Monday to Friday, but I dedicate to him all of my evenings and weekends/bank holidays. On occasions I have to travel to Italy for work (once a month for 2 nights max), but luckily I have a neighbour who happily comes at least once a day to prepare a fresh portion of boiled seeds mix, fruits & vegetables, etc. and change Maurice's water. The only problem is that my neighbour is frightened of Maurice's fierce looks and beak, therefore she would never take him out of the cage.
I always try to keep all of my trips up to 2 nights max., leisure trips included. Now I have been required by my Company to be away for 5 nights in a row - next week - and I am completely gutted! I don't know anybody who could let Maurice out of the cage for 1-2 hours (at least) per day, and although I know the food/water issue is covered, I am seriously experiencing distress and sense of guilt. My question is: should I worry this much for my bird to have to remain in his cage for 5 nights/6 days in a row (knowing that it is a very exceptional situation)? Of course we are talking about a big cage, equipped with several perches and proper bird toys.
Please share with me your thoughts about this topic, as I am totally obsessing about the idea that Maurice could feel abandoned and frustrated not having me around for what seems a very long time!
Thanks in advance

do you have any kind of rescue in spain?the place i adopted mya provides boarding where the birds are let out and they get the attention that they do need daily being flock birds.

Unfortunately there are no parrots' boarding facilities near where I live, and the breeder where I bought my bird lives about 6 hours away from Madrid... so that is not an option for the time being

How about someone (petsitter) to come in like your friend does? That may cost a bit more than boarding your bird with someone though.
