Ask Lafeber

Can I leave my bird alone?

We have an emergency come up and we have to leave the bird for about five days. We have a finch. I know he is social, but we only have him and he’s been thriving for quite some time just alone.

Hi,

It’s OK to leave him, but you need to have someone coming in daily to give him food and water. You need to leave a light on for him, as well as the AC to maintain the temperature he is accustomed to.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,
