Looking for possible bird sitter?

They are going to begin work on my street soon, and I am afraid they are going to be repaving at some point. I am concerned about the fumes, and wondering if I might need to find a place for Juliette to go while they are completing that part. I hate to board her, as she gets very stressed when left in her cage for too long without quality time (sitting on somebody and preening, scritches, etc). Is there any known network to find a responsible bird owner in a local area that might be able to take her in overnight so that she doesn't have to be boarded in a bird store?

Can you try any avian vet clinics near you? I got lucky, mine offers a boarding service via the daughter of the ex-owner, you might get just as lucky!

That's a good idea! I will give them a call.

Why not stay in a motel with her for one night? She's a pretty quiet bird- they'll never know she's there.

It's a thought...but I don't know yet how long it's going to take. The whole project is something like three months of ripping up water pipes and generally disturbing the peace. But I'm guessing there will be blacktop at the end. Hopefully that would be just a few days. Hopefully the whole three months aren't stinky. I don't know what I would do if that were the case.
