Oldest Bird Stories, Part II

Since reading about the California Gull age record, I looked around for the overall oldest bird. Here are a few links:

World’ Oldest Wild Bird Gives Birth at 62

World’s Oldest Parrot is a Hollywood Legend (and it’s really a macaw)

Guinness Record for Oldest Living Parrot (in direct conflict with the previous link)

Winston’s obscene parrot lives on (and it’s yet another macaw)

 

Needless to say, the provenance of many age claims is dubious. Believe them at your own risk.
