Boy or Girl?

I just remembered. This with my first CAG. I planned a trip to Vegas. A dog and bird sitter recommended by my vet was hired. His policy was to come by two weeks before for visitation, learning and introduction. My CAG took one look and went into attack on sight mode. This CAG went to vet with out much protest. He went on outings, no problem. We traveled around country, motel and hotel, army bases for years no problems. The sitter said no to the bird. I couldn't locate another sitter without risk of repeat. So I took CAG with me. Smuggled in with luggage. I asked to speak with manager. I informed him that I had a paranoid schizophrenic individual with me. Under no circumstance to enter room without my presence. No problem that trip. I did reading after trip. Discovered that this isn't uncommon behavior boarding in or out. I considered myself lucky that nearly all my trips are by car and to relatives. So pets are tolerated if not welcomed.

Nowadays hotels rarely service the room without a request. I never ask to have the room cleaned and just get extra towels when needed. As long as the bird is pretty quiet or not so loud it can't be drowned out by the TV I've never had problems at hotels with any of my budgies. Fortunately most birds are quiet after lights out. They're definitely not as loud and disruptive as small children!

I know, and I keep getting charged more and more too. So eventually I may have to consider other options. I know his new vet boards parrots, and his new vet doesn’t care or take it personally if a parrot doesn’t like him. He seems aware of his place in the parrot world.

I know both shelters that Blue & Nico came from would babysit them too. I just feel awful because the one shelter has 15-20 macaws, 5-8 cockatoos (larger species), 15 Amazon’s (the larger well known aggressive species). African greys always get adopted out fairly quickly. It makes me feel bad asking.
