The diet sheet matters most for a hill mynah
A hill mynah is a softbill, and the feeding instructions you leave its sitter must say so plainly, because a sitter used to seed-eating parrots will get this bird's diet completely wrong. Write down the softbill pellets it eats, how much goes in the cup each morning, and the fresh fruit it expects daily, such as papaya, melon, grapes, and soft pear, chopped to the size the bird handles. State that uneaten fruit and soft food come out within a few hours, not at the end of the day, because softbill food spoils fast in a warm room and a mynah will happily eat it anyway. If your vet has set any ingredient limits for this particular bird, write them at the top of the sheet, not in a footnote.
Warn the sitter about the cleaning, honestly
Hill mynahs produce soft, frequent, far-reaching droppings, and a sitter who is not warned will think the bird is ill by day two. Explain that the mess is normal for the species, then give the routine that manages it: papers changed daily at minimum, food and water dishes scrubbed every day, and the area around the cage wiped down because this bird flicks food and droppings sideways with enthusiasm. Note where spare papers, liners, and cleaning supplies live, and which cleaning products are safe to use around the bird and which must stay out of the room entirely.
Bathing, weather, and the room itself
Tell the sitter how your hill mynah bathes, because most love water and expect the chance regularly, whether that is a shallow bath dish in the cage or a gentle misting. Add the room conditions the bird is used to: mynahs come from warm, humid forests, so note the heating or humidity setup you run and ask the sitter to keep the cage away from cold draughts, open windows, and cooking fumes. Write down the cover and lights-out time too, since a mynah woken and lit at irregular hours becomes loud and unsettled.
Company and conversation are care items here
A hill mynah is a social, vocal bird that notices an empty house, so the sitter's instructions should include time, not just tasks. Note how long you usually spend talking with the bird, the phrases and whistles it answers, whether it steps up or prefers to stay on its own perches with visitors, and what radio or sounds it is used to during the day. Ask the sitter to keep greetings and routines consistent, because a mynah that hears its familiar words is far more likely to keep eating normally while you are gone.
Health watch-outs and the vet's number
Close the handover with what normal looks like for your mynah: its usual appetite for fruit, its energy first thing in the morning, and its normal droppings, so the sitter can spot a real change against that baseline. A mynah that goes quiet, stops mimicking, or leaves its fruit untouched for a full day deserves a call to your avian vet, whose number belongs on the sheet along with your own. Leaving all of this through KinsLe's Care Pass gives the sitter temporary, clear access to the mynah's routine and key details for the whole of your trip.
