Surgery Tuesday

Posted by Nancy on 7/12/2024, 1:03 pm

I am having knee surgery Tuesday and trying to convince myself Angel will be ok. Happy and Angel stay out while I am home..Happy is a great flier and very independent.. Angel not such a good flyer and he likes to try and follow Happy so he will need to stay in his house as I wont be able to get him if he flys away from me… tried getting vet appt 2 weeks ago to have wings clipped but he was booked.. trying to convince myself he will be fine because he loves playing with his toys.. even with cage door open he stays inside alot to play with his toys… probably going to bother me more then him.. but feel so bad.. any suggestions?

Angel might not like being in his cage, but he will be okay. I have to put mine in their cages when I am gone from the house now, and yes, I believe it bothers me more than them. They seem content and chill when I leave and come back home, and I know they are safe.

Leave a radio playing for them both. I put mine on NPR, and the birds seem to like it.

Best of luck on your surgery! I hope recovery goes well. I would definitely need help with the birds if I had surgery. Cookie has never come out of his cage if the door is open, but Mae does. If I sit down with them in the living room they are content to sit on me or near me the whole time. Anywhere else, they want to get into everything!

No. 1. Good luck with the surgery and I hope a fast recovery. 2. I know how you feel about keeping the birds in a closed cage. I have to do that since I moved when I go away for the whole day. It is what it is. It's easier to keep them in the cage for the whole two weeks. When I cage them with closed doors I keep lots of millet in the cage. I also put shredding toys in the cage. It keeps them busy.

Hoping you have a successful surgery and a quick recovery. Angel will be fine. Maybe give him an extra toy and an extra treat in his cage.
