Hello!
A few days ago I had to get surgery done on my head and now I have a ton of sutures that are pretty tender. Because of this, I haven't been able to let my bird, Beakley (GCC), get near me as she will instantly start going after the stiches. I feel bad because she has to stay in her cage (it's a large flight cage full of toys and perches) but I can tell she wants to be out with me.
I'm still able to spend time with her throughout the day since I work from home and her cage is in my office. Is it okay to keep her there until the stiches come out? I feel so bad cause she normally gets lots of time out of her cage. The doctor said the sutures can come out in a few days so this is not permanent, but is it okay for her or am I just guilty?
