I still chuckle when I see the old video of the parrot who would whistle, "Always look on the Bright Side of Life" (from Monty Python), in accompaniment with his owner...don't parrots live an incredibly long time?

Cheers!

Most of them do. My uncle had a Galah that died at about 60 years old. We can only guess at that age though as he found him fully grown and injured. Nursed him back to health and he just stayed around. In the wild, these birds don't usually get past 20 years. In captivity they can go for as long as 80.
