An old timer. Still looking good. I've owned cockatiels my entire life, I don't think I've ever had one that long.

From a quick Google search they generally live 16-25 years in captivity with the oldest recorded specimen living to 36

I had one as a kid that lived like 4 years. Found her face down in her cage one morning, no clue what happened since she was in great shape and very social.

I read aroune 25-30 years in captivity if taken care of well. Some even older.

He has always had attitude, only lets me, mom and a sister to pet him, well he demands petting otherwise he bites. He isnt noisy or angry unless provoked.

He has a bald spot under his right wing, few feathers that dont grow anymore. Sometimes one feather on his chest grows upside down. So yeah age is showing, but he is happy and well.

He looks happy.

When he puffs up like that it means he feels safe and is relaxed, usually he starts to clean himself or sleep when puffed up.

He has never been caged. Always been able to fly around in any home we had. Yeah the poop at unwanted places was a sacrifice, but he usually had it's spots and it's easily cleaned, and it doesn't smell anything. Prob why he has been so happy and lived so long.

We adopted him from my sister who had 2 birds that got kids, but the parents got crazy and attacked their kids so we took him in very young, he couldn't even fly at start so we carried him to places.

He is more of a singer, has some own melodies, he did know some melodies we taught him many years ago, but had an accident and forgot them. But he can say his name (Tipi) which the Finnish name for the cartoon Tweety bird. And he also says "hyvyta tipille" when he wants to sleep (means good night Tipi in Finnish), we used to say that to him every night for years.
