BMustee Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 I got the January issue of Bird Talk last night and it had a huge article about Alex. It went on to say that the cause of death seems to be complications due to hardened arteries...something no one could have known he had. It could have been a heart attack or stroke. It said that he could have had a genetic disposition to it because his cholesterol was at a healthy normal level.<br><br>Post edited by: BMustee, at: 2007/12/12 14:51 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatB Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 I know these guys "can" live to be 50. What's the oldest AG you have heard of or have personally met? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spookyhurst Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 I remember reading a post from a member here that said he was thinking about adopting his neighbor's grey (she was dying and the birdie needed a new home ). If I recall, the bird was at least 50. Does anyone remember who that was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KatB Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I read somewhere that until comparatively recently many grey owners assumed a seed diet was all that was needed so very few AGs made it to their rightful ripe old age. Hopefully now that avian nutrition has been studied and bird owners are more knowledgeable, we'll see more and more "ancient" greys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
