We went from living in a cramped duplex with birds right in the middle of the living room, where everything was happening, to a super beautiful 2-storey house in July, and now the birds are in their own bedroom and away from everything that happens in the house.

I've found that it hasn't been easy for me over the past few months not to forget to take care of the birds. They have a separate beautiful bedroom with a huge window, although there is a carpet, so I keep them in a cage in their large flight cage. My husband and I both work outside the house full-time, so while working on a lot of household chores, since we renovated the room together with our other 2 cats and a dog, it was difficult for both of us not to forget to change their food/water and pay attention to them.

Does anyone else have such a problem/situation where your birds are in their room after they are in the center of the house?

This is what I have always wanted for them - a nice bedroom where they could live in peace and quiet, but now that they have it, they are no longer involved in the action! Sometimes, for example, on weekends, I go upstairs only once a day, since there are only bedrooms, but the rest of the time I spend my free time downstairs in the living room with other pets. I'm sad, but there's no way to move them down - their cage is too big, and to be honest, we don't want the birds and their mess in the kitchen where we'll be cooking all our food.

It may be difficult for only bird owners to understand, but the struggle is real! How do you guys do that? How do you allocate time with your other pets, work and your birds when they are in another room? I still love my birds and I think that someday I will be able to stop working and be with them more, but for now everything is as it is.
