I have a cockateil that is 8 months old. She is great but i work full time and i am going to shool at night. I have no relatives that can take care of her when i am away. I dont want to get rid of her but she gets very litle attension. What should i do?
I'm glad you realize that your company is what is best for her. But since that's not possible in your current circumstances, there are things you can do to help. Be sure she has a lot of toys and safe chew items to entertain herself. Leave a radio on for when you are gone, or if you can have her where she can see the TV, they enjoy children's channels where there are cartoons and music. Some folks will advise against getting a mirror, in in a few instances, they would be right. However, in your situation, it will be a good idea. She can have the bird in the mirror as company. And most important, give her lots of love an attention when you can be there with her. Allow her to spend as much time out of her cage and with you, when you are home. I hope this helps.
