spend with your birds everyday, cleaning, feeding, playing, and loving them?

It is soooooo difficult to find enough time in a day to do all that I want to do. Wish I could actually "buy" some time! LOL I do the cleaning, feeding, playing and loving intermittantly, but total hours approximately 4 hours a day. I would be very happy if those 4 hours were devoted to playing and loving but then they would be totally spoiled!

What about you?

morning, noon and night, literally.

Like JR, my time is spread out throughout the day. I spend roughly 4 hours caring for and having one on one loving time with the birds and then them being out and about for about 6 hours a day.

Are you talking about Kady & Kita??

I'm with Leigh, they consume most my day. But in their defense they have been special needs since the day I got them. It makes me happy to give them as much as I can to make up for all the years they had to get by without even their basic needs being met.

When I am home Ruby is with me. I am home most of the time! We love being together.

Pretty much constantly...we are never apart for more then a couple hours at a time, usually no more then a couple times a week....

it's pretty much constant here too. i don't always have my attention focused on ivy, but she is always out/in the room with me. i usually don't go to work until 7pm, when my husband takes over till 9pm when she goes to sleep. i keep her in the cage during parts of the day right now, so she learns to entertain herself and doesn't completely rely on me. she LOVES playing in her cage, especially if i stay in the room with her.

lots of snuggle time, a few hours a day right now of just that. she still isn't TOO big of a player outside the cage, but she is learning. she likes to fly a lot. she doesn't make TOO big a mess right now since she doesn't eat much, so i don't have to spend a whole lot of time cleaning outside of poop scrubbing and tray changing. feeding, again, doesn't take much time because she hardly eats anything. the day consists of alternating periods of snuggling, playing on her stand, playing in her cage, attempted eating, showering, playing on the couch, sometimes going outside on the harness, flying around the house and making trouble....oh and pooping everywhere.

i can't imagine taking care of as many birds as some of you have. ivy is such a handful in herself and it literally takes all the hours in a day right now! ah, there is NOTHING like being owned by a macaw, i LOVE it!

Not as much as I'd like. I'm still working full time until either the end of December or January, after that I'll be a full time birdie Mom!

I aways let everyone out while I'm cleaning the bird room/cages/etc. The weekends we spend a lot more time with them on the weekends.

That is great. I am soooooo looking forward to the day I can be a full time birdie mom!
