vacation

Hello 👋🏻 I have a 5 year old Sun Conure. I have a 3 day vacation starting this Tuesday. The person who was meant to take care of my bird became very ill. I have run out of people to ask to take care of her. My next option is boarding. Does anyone have any input on the experience of boarding a bird?

I have had this lovebird for around eight months (unsure of gender, referring as "her"), and I absolutely love her. My family and I work from home, so we always have her flying around the home, eating fresh foods, and bonding with us. She is always sitting on one of our shoulders or playing...

I'm in between houses, and will be traveling internationally during the interim. Are there any good parrot boarding places in FL? Or perhaps someone who would like to take care of 3 cockatiels for about 2 months? Or If anyone has any ideas I'd be happy to hear them. I am a bit disappointed at...

Hello everyone! This forum has been amazing so far! I would like to thank this community for being with me as I grieved for my last conure who pasted recently. Im asking for advice and I’m trying to put myself at ease. But this upcoming Wednesday I’m leaving for Mexico for 2 weeks and will be...

Hi there! I was wondering if anyone had experience with having to leave their parakeets behind for vacation matters. I am currently a college student, and I plan from moving from where I live now, Hawai'i, to Oregon to transfer into a zoology degree. I also have 2 parakeets, their names are...

Hi, I really hope someone or multiple someone's answer this! :) I have a female 2 yr old GCC named Piper, who I've had since she was 3 months old. I got her from a breeder so she is very friendly, sweet, playful, and bonded to me and my husband. She is fully flighted and has the run of the...

Heya! I am looking for ideas on a safe, secure place to board my precious baby, Bongo, or a reliable service that provides Pet Sitting at home, though I doubt I'll find the later one being that I live up more in the northern country areas of Minnesota. Anywhere in Minnesota is close enough for...

I always like having back ups, and if for some reason I don't feel comfortable leaving my GCC w/ my Mom on an upcoming post-Thanksgiving trip to SEA, I'd like to know what other options I have. I've a very bird-smart friend whom I think I can rely on, but don't want to impose too much. I plan on...

First let me brag, questions later; Yesterday I went all the way and put the Flightsuit on Teeko for the first time! We've been preparing for months. Pretty much every day I stroke him with it, set him on it, basically pretend to put it on him. He used to nip me but I took it slow and he's...

This collapses into a lightweight, flat, disc shape and goes in a plastic case. I just showed it to Pritti and he zoomed in and is playing in there. Front mesh door rolls down and zippers to enclose. Great for parks, vacations, office, etc. pretty big...u can see him all the way in back...

Hi everyone, My daughter has been waiting a long time to get a cockatiel, and will probably get to bring her new feathered friend home this week! :grey: We have a vacation planned at the end of August - 3 days in a cottage and then a week at my mom's house, so 11 days total. We will be...

As I am still in high school, I have a couple of things that unfortunately must come before my pets. For a bit over 2 days, I will be away on a school camp. I am leaving my parrot (that I intensively train everyday to avoid aggression issues that have previously appeared) with my mum, so he...

I seem to have a unique situation with my almost 2 year old Caique, Chip: I came back from a 10 day vacation a couple days ago and Chip was happy and cuddly - normal. Yesterday he was sitting on me while I was on my laptop. He often tries to wrestle with my hand by beaking, which I do not allow...

A few weeks ago I was writing asking for advice about whether to take Pritti or board him. He did great in the airport, security, one the plane and car rides. Jet Blue was amazing, and the airport staff was very accommodating. Security was interesting, when I got to the first security person...

Hi. Am taking Pritti ot grandma and grandpa for 4 weeks. He'll be sharing a room with me in a big house out in the country. It's a plane trip away, so I am trying to figure out what to do about a cage. What size would be the minimum size he could live in for that long. Since not my home...

Good Morning everyone! I have been looking around for more information about traveling by plane with your parrot companion. I am trying to find a carry on approved cage for Goo (by blue front) which would be large enough for him to fly from california to ohio and back, but small enough to be a...

I have a Poicephalus parrot, a Brown-headed Parrot named Frank. We just got back from a 15 day vacation, and he was boarded at the breeder's house. The breeder is VERY trustworthy, and Frankie had a ton of social time with him. He handles him extreemly well. Frank is not yet a year old, but is a...

Okay, so this is how it all started. We had a family meeting on a Saturday morning, on got on the subject of creating our life now that we're settled in the new house. We started to talk about things that we've always wanted to do, and wrote some down. One of the things at the top of our list...
