How long are you going to be gone? It's not good to leave them home for more than a couple of days and that is really pushing it. They really need fresh water at least daily, sometimes more if they use it as a bath or if they poo in it. It's really best to find someone to at least come check on them, change their paper, water and give them fresh food on a daily basis. If you can't find someone to do that call around and see if you can find a vet who will board them until you get back. Good luck

Gravity feeders.
They come in many shapes and sizes. Some are the types you use for wild bird feeders, some are tubes that attach to the outside of the cage with a small trough that stick inside, some are hanging while others are ground feeders. I’d get 2 if you use them for seeds as one may get jammed.
Water dishes are also the same but come in less variety. Make sure you leave a small shallow bowl for them as well. Pet stores might sell the feeders but feed and grain stores usually carry a large “commercial” style variety as well.
Keep them near a window with light but away from draft. Make sure you remove any hanging or potentially dangerous toys (twine that’s come loose, wood chips that have been chewed to points, etc) since you won’t be home to check on them.

go to the pet store buy two ro three packs of seed bars or (treats) they' will work also. Also stick in a Mullit or Millut branch or two. fill the bowl up high and maybe leave an extra bowl filled also. fill the water as high as possible and even try to put an extra of that instead of the extra food bowl if you don't have enough. change the paper befor u leave, put a lamp next to the cage on a timer. If you usually cover them, they'll br O.K. for a week or so not being covered. Also I would sit them, but i doubt u live near me.. :) Kentucky? lol well u can e-mail me with more questions or anything. sidesadle11@yahoo.com that should work... hope they'll be fine and u take my advice. thanks bye!

It really depends on how long you will be away. I wouldn't leave them unattended for more than 3 or 4 days. Hiring a pet sitter to come to your house is a good option if you have no one to care for your your birds.
Remember-Lovebirds need lots of water and it should be fresh.

Pass them to a friend who knows ow to take care of birds.
Alternatively, you may want to ask a bird shop owner to help you take care of them.

you got to get someone to at least take a look at them, every 4th or 5th day without attention, i wouldnt suggest just leaving them lots of food. I bred lovebirds for many years.
