I'm in law school and one of the unfortunate consequences of this is that I need to do internships where I want to work. We have a GCC who is 6 months old and we'll have her in our home for almost 11 months when I would need to leave. I would be gone a minimum of 2 1/2 months, and possibly up to 3. I've heard of birds being cranky with their owners after being gone for 1 week, but how will she deal with me being gone for that long. I would fly back every 3 weeks, but only be home for a couple days. She would also be with my wife, and that makes me nervous that she would just bond with her and forget all about me.
Any advice is welcome, especially from people who have left their birds for extended periods of time. Thanks in advance.
P.S. One of the things I thought about was having my wife use video chat to show the bird my face and let me talk to her for a couple minutes each day.
