So I have an 8 year old cockatiel who I adore, and who adores me. He is crazy about me, which is obviously wonderful.
Here?s the issue: I feel really guilty going on vacation or even on a weekend trip.
I normally leave him with my parents, but they aren?t really comfortable handling him. He gets territorial with them. And often, he keeps screaming and calling for me like 90% of the time I?m gone when he stays with them. They do the best they can, but it?s difficult for them too.
I?ve kept him alone at times when I?m gone foe a day or two (with plenty of food and water of course) and he calls for me constantly as well.
It just breaks my heart that he does that.
Any suggestions. I just feel really guilty leaving him, but at the same time-vacations and trips are necessary for someone?s well being.
