We have come up with a question. (notice I didn't say dumb!)
Cassie may have to be left alone in the house for about 24 hours. What
would be the best way to handle this?
His bed time is typically around 9:00 or 9:30 (cover on the cage) and
the lights go out about 11:30. The cage is uncovered and he is told
good morning at 8:30 in the morning. Cassie gets to fly around the house
between 7:00 to 8:00 or 8:30 PM. Actually he only flies for a few minutes
and the rest of the time climbs all over my wife, Mostly playing with
her necklace or sitting on her shoulder or head as she does things and
moves around.
The heart of the question is since our daughter will also be going with
us and there will be no one at home from about 10AM Saturday till
around 8PM Sunday what should we do. leave the cover on so he thinks he
is in bed? take the cover off - leave a light on - leave the lights off?
The one thing we do intend to do is leave a radio on so he will at
least have that much company. Food and water we are not too concerned
with because of the millet spray hung up, the seed cup, stuff on the
floor of the cage and honey stick. For water we will leave a full cup
plus one of those gravity feed thingies, plus a few bits of apple
slice.

We have one light and the radio on a timer. They both turn on at
8:00 AM and turn off at 11:00 PM. We stopped covering our birds
(7 of them) and they don't seem to mind a bit. If you are concerned
about breeze or cold air - just put the cover anoud 2 or three sides -
not on the top or front.(clothes pins work great for holding the cover
on). We are gone on weekends a lot - and this seems to work well. It
sounds as if you have everthing else you need!

We have one of those night-lights that turn on when it gets dark and
off when it's light. If you're going to leave a radio on, leave the
volume real low. WHen the house is empty, it doesn't take much volume.
