Hello. I got my parrotlet a week ago, and I have a wedding to go to this weekend and will be out of town from Friday-Sunday. We are bonding well, but he's definitely testing his limits. Do I take him with me on this trip or should I find a capable bird-sitter to come check in on him over the...

I'm starting to get worried.:( I have had my parrotlet Skittles for almost 2 weeks but he still doesn't want to come out of his cage and shows no interest in me. Is this normal?:confused: I took out his mirrors. Are there any other "bad" toys I should know about? He loves looking out windows, so...
