    My African Grey Parrot

    Yesterday, Jan. 15th, was the 25th anniversary of the day I got him. I call it his Bird Day. He was 5 -6 months old at the time, so his age is 25 1/2 years now. I had done lots of research before getting him, so I know they had a long life, and I remember thinking "It'll be easy to remember the year of his 25th, because the date will be 1/15/15." And then, POOF, it was here, and now we head into our 26th year.
    His real name is Bubo Archimedes, but he's called Buddy. I'm so glad I have him with me!

    That's so adorable!!!
    I've always wanted a parrot, or maybe a conure, but my dog is enough of a financial investment for me at the moment.
    Happy Belated Bird Day to you guys!!!

        Happy late BirdDay Buddy! Twenty-five is quite some time for a bird to live, so that is quite impressive, although I'm not sure if that is common for parrots. :3

          As I remember parrots live well over 100 years,right?

          Looked it up.



          Macaws 50 - 100 +

          Cockatoos 40 - 60 +

          Amazons 50 - 70 +

          African Grays 50 - 60 +

          Eclectus 65 - 85

          Conure 12 - 30

          Lories and Lorikeets 13 - 25

          Caique 30

          Senegal 50 years

          Cockatiel 12 to 20

          Parakeets 7 to 18 years

          Lovebirds average 15 to 25

          Canaries average 10 to 15 years

          I always was told over 100,but maybe that's turtles...
          MAGIC is MAGIC,black OR white or even blood RED

          all i ever wanted was a normal life and love.
          NO TERF EVER WE belong Too.

              Haha I was gonna reply "depends on the species of parrot"... then I scrolled down and saw you'd already done the hard work!

                Here are a couple of pics from the festivities! Those are plain corn muffins, which we both like a lot.
