Bird getting on in years
Hi all!

I was just doing some calculating and realized that my little bird Pell is now SEVEN! I am astonished at this, since I've never had a budgie over two, and Pell just keeps chugging along. She's never been sick a day, sings and chortles at all hours (up through midnight, even when covered) and eats well. She's having a bath with a bit of water and some watercress right now, as she's decided she likes greens. Her regular food is pellets. She gets out to fly a couple of times a week, usually for a couple of hours while I've got my cat locked up in the other room.

Anyway, now that Pell is getting older, I'm just wondering if there are any particular health issues or other problems I should be on the lookout for. Her cagemate died suddenly two years ago without warning. She has a different attitude than her cagemate, however, and has always been more relaxed and way less afraid of stuff. Any advice?

Oh, and here's a pic from a couple of weeks ago.


She gets occasional seed treats and yeah,
she had just torn apart a seed log
