MANY years ago, here or on Tiel Talk or both, was someone named Agneta who had a cockatiel named Brunte, and Brunte was 36 years old.



The oldest Cockatiel that's in the Guinnes book of records is Sonny, and he's 33. He was born on January 10, 1993. He's still living!

THey have records of his age. With Solomon, I have no records of his hatching, and he was given to me with a flock of parakeets, having been rejected by a breeder, sold to a different breeder who gave him to me along with the sick parakeets he didn't want.

I don't even have an exact day that happened, just the year. Heck, Solomon could be 40 for all I know. BUt I do know, he's loved, even though his neck is a bit crooked from arthritis, and he can't see any more. He still finds his food, finds comfort in his companion Rainbow, and sings his heart out every night.
