Official Squatch Watchers

I was just tending the parrots in the bird room. My 18-19 year old cockatiel isn't looking so great. Dadgum it!

The average lifespan in captivity is 20.....I guess we may be nearing the end.
The lovebird will be quite upset. He is to old to really accept a new friend I think. He is 17.

That's so sad, when our pets of any kind come to their end

It's ok Chooky. They have both had long lives.

Poor old birdies.

Don't be sad. These times come.....I knew it before bringing them in. They have had long lives really. The lovebird has outlived the average already.

Lol, it is also my 26 year wedding anniversary.
That still gets veteran status right?

Happy anniversary!

Can't be helped it just bums me out to no end when critters pass even when they're old as dirt.
I feel for you because you made old as dirt a possibility for them.

Well you picked a "real keeper," for a husband Cap. My parents were married for 55 years before my mom passed of cancer.

My sister and her husband were married almost for 50 years.- 4 days before the event, her husband died from lung cancer.

I didn't mean to be a total downer Chicky. I guess it rather surprised me to see Tiki looking off at all. Yeah....old as dirt is a pretty good accomplishment lol.
Checking on her all close up she isn't fluffed up but her eye is odd and being held tightly closed. I am going to have to wear gloves to try and treat the eye....she can give quite a pinch with that beak. She is old as dirt but I will still try to help her.

Those are both long marriages. I am sorry they ended the way they did.
