First time leaving my bird — so anxious

I need to travel for a week and I've never left my parrotlet with anyone before. The separation anxiety is real — and it's MINE, not the bird's. What should I prepare? What info should I give the sitter?

I went through this exact thing with my canary Storm! It lasted about two to three weeks and then resolved on its own. Hang in there.

LOVE this post! More of this energy please. The bird community needs more positive threads like this.
