Guest guest Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 Parrots can live up into their seventies. The man I buy all my " bird stuff " from raises all kinds of parrots. He has a parrot that stays at home that is 54 yrs old. His red Macaw " Sam " is 27 yrs. and comes to the shop with him and will answer questions. It just amazes me what that bird will say. He doesnt just mimic and repeat .. he answers questions. One day I asked him " Sam, you want a cracker? " and the bird said, " Crackers icky, give me apple. " You could have knocked me over with a feather. If you ask him, " Are you a good bird? " he says, " Sam is bad bird .. poop on floor. " or " Sam is good, want a grape.
