Have bird will travel????

[alleycat39402]

I am just curious....when you all leave to go on vacation or out of town, what do you do with your birds? Is there such thing as a bird kennel?

Most avain vets offices have pet or bird sitting services. But be adivised, it's not cheap. They charge in my area about $15.00-$20.00 a day. I have a nephew that usually takes care of the bird(s).

I no longer do vacations because you simply cannot trust ppl to take care of your animals the way you would . Nope my animals are just too precious to me to let anyone other than myself or my husband take care of them .

They do have bird boarding places, everyone is different. Make sure you get a tour of where ever you are thinking of going so that you can make sure its nice (i.e. clean, safe, cage isn't in a drafty area, dark room...etc.)

Romeo's previous owners acquired an RV so that they could take the birds with them on vacas, expensive but interesting concept.... :20:

If we go somewhere for the weekend or just a few days, our 22 yo and/or 24 yo kids stay at our house and care for the birds and dogs. If we're gone for more tha 3-4 days, we board the birdies at "Grandma" Wendy's - she's our breeder and we know they'll get well cared for with her.

We have a travel trailer and have kicked around the idea of taking Ruby and Jade camping with us, but we need to harness train them first.

Next year my sister is getting married, and since she lives four hours away, we will have to be gone the weekend. Normally, if I went somewhere for a weekend, I could ask my mom or other sister to petsit, but of course they will all be at the wedding too. So that leaves me worried sick! We're going to have a friend take care of the animals, but it's so stressfull thinking of them here for a whole weekend with nobody to keep them company. River is used to getting to come out to play everyday poor guy. Our friend doesn't have a bird, so I think I would just have him leave him in the cage. I would worry too much if he was taking him out without me there. One of my cats get insulin injections, I'm sure our friend will be fine learning how to give them, but it stressed me out. Our vet would board the diabetic cat, but I don't really want to do that, because I think if he stayed in a cage at the vet, he would end up not eating. Sigh.....

i can't even remember the last time we had vacation. between birds, dogs, and fish, and occasionally other critters, there's just no way to leave them all and have them well cared for. especially since some of them need special care.

i haven't even considered going anywhere for more than a few hours at a time in years. lol
