If you’re out of town for an extended period of time, you can hire a bird sitter to keep an eye on your birds, play with them, and make sure any pet birds have fresh food and water. They can also clean their cage and make sure they get to spend some time out of their cages safely. You can interview a couple different bird sitters to get an idea of what type of responsibilities they’re willing to take on.
