Agh! I am going on a 1 week vacation this week starting Saturday and ending next Friday, and I have to board Nash! This is the first time I have left Nash for more than 12 hours and i am FREAKING out!
Unfortunately, due to housing and stuff, Nash is not very socialized.. He only ever sees my dad and I, and so it may be a huge, nerve wracking change for him to see probably 10 new people in that 1 weeks span.. He has also never seen another parrot since he came to me last July, so this may also be a huge change..
I have his first aid kit ready ( although I am boarding him at Papayago Rescue House, and the woman who owns it is going to school for avian medicine so I know she probably already has this stuff ), and his birdy diary ( I write down any major changes in behavior, food, caging, etc on here and have been since I got him )..
He will also be living in his older cage which is 1/3 the size of his new one unfortunately so it will be a huge change for him as well.. I have put him in there today so he will get used to it while here, but I still am afraid that all of this new stuff will make him anxious! He is flighted so it is doubtful that they will get him out just incase something happens ( even though their house is bird proofed and all, they still have other birds who Nash would treat badly or the other way around ) which worries me because he is used to getting 5+ hours out of the cage every day...
ANyone else get scared when boarding their fids?
