Old Birds

BJ is one very old cockatiel.  He was given to me approximately back in 1980. He can't fly as he has only one flight feather.  They just stopped growing in.  He is therefore very safe to take outside to the outdoor cages.  He is frail and thin and loves to sit in the warmth of the sun to soak it up. 

This is Ben.  He too is quite ancient.  He came to me when he was old.  Now he's older!  Going strong at 30+ years.  He isn't able to maneuver easily but he manages to climb around on his stiff legs.  He loves to soak up the sun too. 

Parrots are very long lived.  It feels good to give them comfort and care in their elder years.
