I can give you an opinion Lori. Many of our members take their birds with them on trips like this. If you would be able to keep the temperature regulated (i.e. A/C, heat, whatever is required) Maggie would probably be fine. If you leave her home, my experience is that Timber prefers to stay in his home environment even if he doesn't get his usual out of cage time. He is very resistant to change, and would freak out in a boarding situation I think. I left him home for a week while I was gone on business. My daughter-in-law fed and cleaned, but was not able to let him out much because she can't handle him. She would sit by his cage and talk and whistle with him while she was here. If your son is going to be around and Maggie is used to him, she would probably prefer to be home with him than being boarded and at least you would know what kind of care she was getting and that she wasn't being exposed to disease. Others with more experience may have other responses! Good luck
