From bird + sitter, modelled on babysitter.
Noun
birdsitter (plural birdsitters)
- Someone who birdsits.
- 1959 July 31, “All Because of a Bird”, in The Circleville Herald, volume 7, number 179, page 8:
- When a Del Mar woman goes out, she entrusts her parakeet to only one person, a teen-age girl she hires to stay home with the bird. But the girl's mother won't allow her daughter to be out alone. And that's why a baby-sitter is hired to sit with the bird-sitter while she sits with the bird.
