I feel so guilty, my flock’s routine is getting all messed up during this situation. My birds are used to getting out of cage time after work everyday and more on weekends. The current events have me working 4 - 12 hour shifts (plus commute time), then having a couple days off, then back on for 4 12’s. I’m feeding them in the wee hours of the morning on my way out and coming home after their bedtime. I know that in the grand scheme of things that this doesn’t rate as a tragedy....but it doesn’t stop me from feeling like I’m a terrible bird mom right now when they look so confused. Hope it’s okay to articulate that feeling here - it’s not something that I can say elsewhere and have people understand why I feel badly about it. Hope everyone is staying safe!
