[momma bird]

Hello,
Thought this might make a good topic, I do have some older birds.

58 year old Military Macaw, female; 51 year old citron cockatoo, male; 33 year old quaker, male; 30 year old rosella, male; (3) 30 year old cockateils, females;

What are some your characteristics of your older birds?

We had a approx 63 yr old Galah who died a few years ago, she hated kids lol and loved playing under the sprinklers.

Yeah the galah has a growth that turned cancerous, we got her put to sleep cos she was wasting away and there was nothing anyone could do about it. The cancer had spread to far. She was a wild Galah who was hit by a car and broke her wings and could never fly again so she had been in the family for about 60 years, werent sure how old she was when she was hit though. We used to just have her out in the yard with us, she would fluff up under the sprinklers and crawl after you.

ha ha...thats cute!!

She was gorgeous, we used to be scared of her when we were little cos she hated us, i think when she was wild some kids must have done something to her cos it was only kids she bit. but then after we got a certain height she wouldnt bite anymore.

I have a CAG that was wild caught so there is really no telling what is actual age it but he has been in captivity for approximately 32 years and I am his 4th owner in that time.

Your Galah sounds like she was a really great pet, I'm sorry she died :(
