Re: question about a bird
17th is right of course. LOL. 15 years old is an average age for a cockatiel (quarrion). However many have been known to abandon their homes and fly around the neighbourhood only never to return. If its male it should be quite a significant talker, you could teach it some quotes....(just a suggestion) if you dont want to keep it there are usually lots of pet shelters that will take it off your hands or even enquire at an aged persons home. (some over here encourage communal pets) anyway kisses to your birdie. Love the Grey

Re: question about a bird
i have had the bird for 3 years now , and i dont know how old it was when i first had it ,but i think it must have been about 7 , so it must be getting on in years now ,


LOL maybe i can teach it to say ,


AND THIS GOODNEWS OF THE KINGDOM WILL BE PREACHED........ it seems that i will have about 5 years to teach it new words, if 15 is its lifespan LOL



It was my mums bird so i will not be giving it away ,


i told her i would keep it .



i seem to inherit everyones pets, BIRD (MUMS) IGUANA ,( MY MARRIED SONS) and a DOG from a broken marriage (brother-in-laws)


we wouldnt be without the dog , but the other 2 seem to live forever, , the iguana has been with us for 11 years , but when my son got married he never took it with him ,so good old mee has a zoo

did she scare you , LOL most people are scared of her , one time a friend of mine who did not know that we had iggy , sat on the settee and iggy was lay on the back of the settee , i said turn round and she nearly had a heart attack .


she is quite large now , her tail is like a whip and even though she is not that fierce , she can use that tail if she wants too ,so you have to treat her with respect and not make any sudden movements towards her as she loads that tail up, and it is some tail ,

Are you sure she's not a small, tiny lizard viewed close-up? (this will probably show that I know very little about animals.)

Re: question about a bird
She's beautiful.

I've only had friends with green iguanas, the kind where the jaw bone protrudes.

I love how they move ever so intently...
