We're going on vacation and Skye is going to have to go to boarding for 9 days. The place is kinda far away from our house but it has nearly perfect reviews online and we were very impressed with the cleanliness, amount of toys, etc when we visited a couple of weeks ago. She'll have her own appropriately sized cage with new toys in a room that the public can't get to and they have a tv in there set to cartoons all day. It's just a better fit than going to my mom's, where they have five dogs who bark constantly.
This is our first bird and our first time leaving her for more than a few hours, so I'm having a little anxiety about it. Since coming home, she's only really been around my SO and I. She's met a handful of other people for brief moments but was scared and did everything she could to get back to me or my SO when they held her. My initial worries were about her getting hurt or being too scared to eat or if she forgets us but I've worked through those and know that she'll be fine.
But the one thing that I can't get out of my head is, what if she's mad at us when we pick her up? Especially if she's so mad that it changes the way she acts towards us?
What have your experiences been? I'm worrying too much, right?
