I was wondering what y'all do when you go away. In July my youngest son is getting married and it is a 2 and 1/2 day affair. That is a whole story in it's self. Any how we will be gone all day Friday , after 12:00 noon, till around noon Sunday.
Should I hire someone to come and feed Lucky, Lucy will be boarded, or can I fill up large water and feed cups? I will be having a timer on the radio so she has some noise and hopefully that keeps her from being bored.
All thoughts are welcome.

If you had someone to hire, that would be best. Just so there's some human interaction. I'm sure even if you decided against it, the full treat cups would be ok. But unless you have a vertical water bottle, i would worry about her soiling her water. Lucy alwayssss poops in her water.. I'm constantly changing it

Santa, do you have a responsible teenage neighbor kid whom you would trust to come in a couple of times a day and talk to Lucky and make sure her water is clean?

Her water cup is covered so not worrying about that. I believe a local pet store does have a service for this. I will have to look into it.

I leave mine with a relative but also leave full water/seed cups in case the relatives don't pay attention (I'm unfortunately the only bird lover in my family).
I think if you can find someone you trust to check up on them but also leave enough seed and water if someone doesn't will suffice. Just make sure to give them SO much love when you get back!

Going to check the pet store today for the service. Since this is my son's wedding any relative will be there too. That and I live on an island and it cost $6.00 to go over the bay bridge would keep others from watching Lucky.

When I am away on vacation, I have my boyfriend or another trusted friend come and spend as much time as possible at my house, to play, to feed, and to clean. I go away for at least two weeks every year and never have had a problem. But you have to be sure that you can trust your friend and that they understand how important Lucky is to you.
