You know, I've always said that when I retire I'm getting a dog, but seeing all these gorgeous birdie pics, I'm starting to think about a tiel, but I need to do a lot, and I mean a lot, of research regarding their lifespan (since I'll be 65....). Well, I've got 14 years to think about it.

Thanks for posting.
You would loooooove your birdie if you got one! They are so much fun!

Cockatiels can easily live 20-30 years, so most do live quite long..........but you will still be young at 65, and hopefully still have a long way to go........right?
