Mon-Thurs:
645am - wake up and let Remy out
745am - put Remy back in cage and leave for work
730pm - get home and let Remy out
830-1100pm - Remy stays out until she puts herself to bed anywhere in this time frame
Fri, Sat, Sun:
Out all day from when we wake 900am-bedtime (unless we go away for a two days and 1 night (sat/sun), which isnt often, but so far has been 3x

The concern is ever since Remy started going to bed when the sun goes down (not all the time, but 830ish sometimes as it's almost summer here), she doesnt really spent much time outside of her cage during the weekdays. The past couple of nights, she's been so pooped she put herself to bed at 830pm and has only been outside of her cage for an hour.
We dont want her to get bored and go crazy inside her cage being left alone in there all day long. She has PLENTY of foraging activities - at least 5 hanging foraging toys, 5 foot foraging toys, some more wood, cotton, plastic, leather, etc etc material toys to chew on and play with, a big cage, great diet, etc. BUT its really just Remy all alone for about 12 hours on the worst traffic day.
So far it works, and Remy still seems super happy and loving and content, but she is a baby - only 9 months old. We dont want her to grow older being a miserably bored and lonely bird.
Another bird is out of the question right now. Any advice is welcome.
Could you all post your schedules? I'm curious to know how other IRN's do alone in their cage for long hours... we are concerned. Thanks!
