What has been the biggest change you have noticed as your bird has gotten older?

Gracie has become a talker aka trying to make me go deaf....

Sunny's bedtime has gotten a lot earlier. He used to stay up until 9:00. Now by 7:00-7:30 he's ready for bed. But he's still a busy boy during the day. :)

With most senior pets I've been around, they seem more affectionate :)

I have noticed the cuddles a lot more myself. And the punctuality of the nap/bed time. My poor husband has been getting yelled at if he keeps her up 10 minutes to late for bed.

Fred, 10 yr old budgie has sight problems, also he is not as mobile as he used to be. He gets slower on rainy days from his arthritis. One odd change, Fred has taken to one particular physical activity with his lady. Which he never did in his younger years. I take it as a good sign, that he still feels well.:shy::rolleyes:

Tricks and tactics that worked when they were young and dumb, don't work anymore now that their old and wise. :lol:

Like dropping a treat in the bowl in the cage. Not falling for that stupid trick. :)

Gaugan has become an even sweeter parrot as she has aged, she still has close to the same energy level. She is much better at understanding different human beings and has started to become more accepting of other parrots. She is eating a better variety of food, and is less picky than when she was younger.

Gracie has been more into trying to steal my food when I am eating if I have her out. She jacked a cracker right out of my hand and took off last week. She also has a think for cereal lately which makes no sense what so ever. She likes to have a little milk and a flake of cereal and she is content. She also likes popcorn. She has always been scared of food as long as we can remember but for some reason she has been going after people food like crazy lately. She has been getting lots of bird treats and time out of her cage like always and play time so I don't know why the change all of a sudden.
