Why is it always the parrots?! If you ever have a vendetta against a person who is an animal lover, buy them a pet parrot. They live as long as we do, it’s like having a destructive, messy, noisy child that can fly in your house for the rest of your life. Anyway thanks for the rabbit hole lead. Off I go!
Depends on what kind of parrot. The Lori parrot lives only 5-7 years.
But the Cockatoo approx 100, and it can bites off your finger...
As a child our family was gifted a male Amazon Bluefront parrot. He loved my mother and would attack any male person in the house, flying off of her shoulder to assault them. I understand that they can live 85 years. He will certainly outlive my mother, not by much though. I absolutely will not be assuming the parrot’s care when she passes. 😁
The Ara kind parrot is similar the Cockatoo regarding lifetime. Try to give it to the Zoo 😉
I had turtles when I was a child. They live for hundreds of years. My father gave them to the Zoo for free. They still live happily 😊😊
I will home him. I don’t despise him for being a parrot, a zoo might be just the right solution. I enjoyed the idea of your childhood turtle pets living at a zoo. 😃
