How old is your feathered friend?

[newclassic]

Just wondering how old your parrots are--I'm curious to see if we have any 30+ yo's on this forum! Mine are 15 and ~17 .

Mine turned 32 this past January!

Rosie is at least 20 but could be older.

Ollie, my amazon is supposed to be 50.

Kiwi is at least 15 (maybe a little older, we were told he was about 10 when we got him). My parents have had their 2 amazons for 40 years, and their goffin for 38 or 39 years. They got their green cheek zon and goffin as unweaned babies, so they know exactly how old they are. Their DYH was wild caught as an "adult" bird, so she is at minimum 45 and may be much much older (though she is still extremely healthy and doesn't show much signs of being a senior bird).

Wow, mine seem like little babies! Though truly speaking, I guess they are!
Oliver is 1 1/2 to 2 years old, we aren't sure.
Bella and Zora are twins, hatched on the same day, on February 21 last year, so they are now 1 year and a week old.

Casey, cockatiel, going on 12 years old this year
Bourke Parakeet, between 16-18 years old (she's ancient! expected lifespan is 11-15 years, oldest I've heard of was 21)
Charlie, mitred conure, 19 this year.

The rest, I have no clue on their ages, but I know that one of the other cockatiels is 15+ years old. For all I know, he could be in his 20's or older. The other two cockatiels I have no clue how old they are, but I would guess teens or early twenties.

My SI Eclectus will be 19 in June.

Our sulpher crested cockatoo, Cocky, turns 45 this year

Misha GCC - 2yrs
Guapo GCC - 1yr 5months

Being specific-ish because they're so young compared to most of these posts! Some are older than me which is crazy to think about.

We recently acquired a Mealy Amazon Parrot through an adoption. He's an old boy ....... 41 years old.

We're his 3rd owner. He started out as a Pet Store (mascot) bird, then moved into a private home, and now to us. He's THE NICEST Amazon I've ever seen or been around. His name is "Hollywood". I actually call him Mr. Squeekers because everytime you pick him up ..... he squeeks like a stuffed animal.
Cute little bugger.

Cooper is so young compared to some of your birds!! cooper is only about 8 months old! WOW. that makes him seem like a baby, well, i guess he is but he has grown up so much since i got him! hahahah

 

[henpecked]

Pritti, cherry-headed conure, will be 31 in August. He's been a one family bird his whole life. I love him like crazy.

 

[RockysMom]

Opey Quaker is 4years old
Rocky Yellow Crown Amazon will be 2 in May
Brandi Congo Grey will be 1 year in April
Candy new vos eclectus is 10 weeks old today , her hatchday is New Years day

My little Georgie would have been 12 but died at 11.5 :'(
My Gilbert is 8 months old and i hope to have him until i am in my 70s!!

I always wanted an Amazon baby, but being in my 40s now, i would probably have to rescue an older amazon out of fairness if i ever get one. He would most likely outlive me if i got a baby who was healthy.
