Would you please share your perspective on parrot mentality regarding while you are away?
Do you think that if you go on vacation, that your parrots think you possibly have died? What about others who dont vacation much. (I know that you are big on exposing your parrots.)
I recently had to leave my parrots for a week. An emergency. Someone only was able to come in to feed them. They were not let out of their cages. The reason i ask, if you think that they possibly think you have died. Is because parrots,by nature, have survival mentality. Im also wanting to understand what this wait for me to come back was like for them, besides it seeming traumatic.. But after a couple days or three, alls back to normal.come
Mine are rehomed parrots that come from severe neglect, trained now, but a sitter wouldnt know how to handle them, get them back in their cages. Nor, the time to do so.
Whats the longest youve gone away? Have you ever brought them with you? Do you have a partucular person that cares for them when you are away? What might you suggest for those like myself, in such situations. I figure, at least they had light classical music, each other in cages, and some obvious individual cage activity, as well as not leavingtheir home spot.
Thanks!
