My quaker parrot, Nagoya, is 6 months old, and at the moment, she’s not fond of everyone except me and my boyfriend, as we both raised her since she was 5 weeks old. She stayed with him 2-3 weeks since we bought her before she moved to my place. I’ve been wanting Nagoya to spend time with my boyfriend (especially since I’m recovering from surgery and I can’t take her out), I wonder if it’s a good idea to let him take her for a week, maybe two if she really wants to stay over. He has two cockatiels but she’ll be kept in her own cage. She’s met them before when she was still 5 weeks.
I know that constant change in environment can sorta stress out my bird, so just wanted to see if it’s alright to let her stay over and be babysat for a bit. She knows my boyfriend and myself as her parents. She used to LOVE being in his sweater pockets as a baby whenever he went driving, before she could fly (she isn’t free-flight yet, so she won’t be as patient this time).
Thank you!

They way you describe the situation, the bird will be fine. They adapt quite well. This comes from over 40 years of experience with birds so go for it.

As long as all birds are vetted with certificates of health, and your bird is comfortable with your boyfriend this should not be a problem.
