A day in my life as a pet sitter

Cuddles in bed by the dogs to gently wake me up and letting them all out to the toilet.

Then onto the rabbits clean out the old hay and refresh with new, feed them, health checks, fresh water, make some enrichment toys to keep them entertained, and put out in the runs for leg stretch and play time.
Then clean out all the parrots cleanliness is a top priority, refresh newspaper, clean out all waters for the first time of the day this won't be the last 😂. They poo and put food in it several times per day. Then sweep floors again won't be the last time of the day. Once the cleaning is done can have lots of snuggles and let the birds out for play time and stretch their wings.
Onto bath and shower times some birds like spray and beth the tortoises to ensure hydrated.
Onto letting out the chickens and feeding the sheep and goats 😍😍😍.
I can grab a bite to eat which of course must be shared 😂 then onto tea and buscuits ..... no not for me the birds of course 🙈 charlie wont be happy if doesnt get his rich tea.
Then time to nip out to do couple home visits and dog walks. Back and feed the starving neglected dogs 😂😍 because mum had been a traitor and been out with other dogs.
Back home and top up my electrolytes and go round check all the animals are ok and if they need anything, clip some nails do some grooming and cuddle more animals 😍😍.
Then the boring stuff paper work, invoices and checking emails, texts, fbook messages and WhatsApp yes lots of people message different ways 🙈 respond to all messages and send pics to owners to reassure everyone their pets are ok.
More cleaning, more cuddles and feeding then go lock up the pets all safe for the night and more cuddles with the pooches while winding down for the day. Busy day very demanding would change it for the world. Then thow in been a mum and a wife 😂 thats a whole other status of jobs.

ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT GETTING A PARROT? 🤔

13 Ways to REALLY Prepare Yourself for Getting a Parrot

This 13-step guide will help prepare you, emotionally and physically, for what it’s like to live with one.
If you follow this, you will have a fairly good idea what it’s like to have one of these delightful creatures in your house.

1. Take a big bite of a carrot. Chew it up well, but don’t swallow it. Now go out to your dining room and spew it all over the wall. Leave it there until it dries. Get a sponge and a scraper and scrape it off the wall. Repeat at least three times a week.

2. Go to the bird supply store. Buy everything you need for the month. Then with the leftover money, go to the grocery store and pick up a five-pound box of macaroni, some parmesan cheese and some margarine. These provisions should last you about two weeks, and it’s about all you’ll be able to afford after all that money you spent at the bird supply store.

3. Take a newspaper to the bird supply store. Place it in the bottom of an empty birdcage. Read it while it’s lying on the bottom of the grate. This is how you will be reading the newspaper from now on.

4. Get some pelleted diet, some chopped-up vegetables, borrow some bird p**p from the bird supply store (they’ll look at you funny, but they probably won’t charge you for it), some parrot feathers, pieces of bird toy parts, some wood chips and some almond shells. Combine in a one-gallon container. Throw some of it on the floor. Now clean it up. Throw more of it on the floor. Now clean it up. Repeat at least twice a day.

5. Get a screwdriver from your toolkit. Make some gouges in the paint on the wall. And while you’re at it, use it to rip one of your lampshades and smack up a couple of picture frames.

6. Make sure you know the meaning of all of these terms: cloaca, preen gland, PDD, PBFD, calcium to phosphorus ratio, polyomavirus, E.N.D., and boing. This task involves a lot of research. At least you'll be on your phone for a good reason.

7. Measure out a cup of flour and place it in a sifter. Move about your house and lightly coat all surfaces with the flour. Now, dust all the surfaces. Repeat at least three times a week.

8. Look up some wild parrots on YouTube. Turn the volume up on your phone to full blast and place it right next to your ear. Repeat at least three times a day for 15 minutes.

9. Take some of that bird p**p you borrowed from the bird supply store and place it on a spatula. Now reach over your shoulder with the spatula and rub the bird p**p on the back of your shirt. Let it dry and then go grocery shopping. Count the number of people who either stare at you or tell you that you have bird p**p on your back.

10. Do a little dumpster diving and collect odd items like water bottle caps, pieces of raffia, tree branches from bird-safe trees, pieces of cardboard and old plastic clothesline. With these items, attempt to make an interesting toy. You have 8 minutes. You may begin.

11. Save the wild parrot sounds onto your phone and set them as your 6 a.m. alarm. Make sure they are on the loudest setting possible. Repeat every morning for the rest of your life.

12. Get some bed sheets. Now, take that screwdriver and make various beak-shaped holes in them. Take some of that bird p**p and smear it on the sheets. Launder and repeat at least twice a month.

13. Find a reputable bird veterinarian and make his car payment for him. Repeat at least once a year for each bird you intend to get.

Do these exercises for as long as you can.
If you can keep this up for at least six months without losing your mind, you just might be ready for a parrot
