Hi Mitch,
Have you ever done an article on the true lifespan of parrots in captivity?
When I was first researching parrots (in the early 1990s) I read in Multiple places that Greys and other large parrots lived to their 80s.
But it turns out most don’t get even close to that.
Hi Tracy
Hope all is well.
I received this inquiry and just need it fact-checked before I reply.
Having the responsibility of digital marketing for Windy City Parrot I Recently Googled the term “parrot care.”
A keyword phrase we need to rank for much better.
What singularly struck me was a mediocrity of information for the top-ranked links on page 1 of Google’s search results.
I wear many hats at Windy City Parrot.

I have tried to answer the post regarding the bird having strokes/seizures.
I have experience with that.
Once I try to post an answer it asks me again for a WordPress login or to just enter my login.
So twice it asks me for login but it still doesn’t work and I really want to give the person the info I know so she can discuss it with her Vet.

Good morning.
My 29-year-old Caique parrot Skeeter had a stroke 10 days ago.
The vet who treated him sent him home the same day with antibiotics and calcium; told me to keep him in his travel cage which was padded with towels, and wished me good luck.
I just got off the phone with Andrea, a very good customer of ours.
Andrea was fortunate enough to get a lung transplant at the age of 70.
I’m sure her primary surgeon told her many things that stand out to me are, “We’ve probably added about six years to your life” and “You have to get rid of your macaw.”
