i have been looking into buying my first bird (blue and gold macaw) and doing some research on the internet about them. One thing that I am worried about is what does everyone do with their birds when they go to work? Are they ok to be at home alone during the day, do they need a companion if they are left alone? I work a regular 8 hour shift and didnt know if that was to long to leave them. Also we occasionally go camping on the weekends and didnt know if taking the bird with us would be a healthy or hazardous thing to do. Do people ever take their birds on vacation with them? Any tips would be helpfull!
