I have a age question

[Farlie]

OK, 'they' say the equivalent age of a dog to human is about 7 years. So, every human year that goes by is about 7 years to a dog.
OK, ready? How does this work for a Sun Conure? What would the equivalent to human years be?
Thanks,

That’s actually inaccurate, there are many other factors to finding a dog’s age, including weight and breed.
Not sure about the conure.

Not sure how "accurate" this is but looks fun!

Bird years are similar to dog or cat years, but since there are so many different bird species the calculation can be a little tricky. That's why we created the bird age calculator

That means Neelu (age estimated 4) is 34!!
And Peelu (age estimated 2) is 18!

Niether of my birds are as old as I am
(both are about a year and a half)

Interesting link Mizzely!

Jaime is my age,

Adelie, Lapis and Nube are all exactly half my age,

Gisli would be 5/6

And Sydney is old enough to be my dad

Oof.. Caroline is 10 years younger than me but still......

Simple math. If humans live to say 90 average. Conures average around 30 years. That would make it a 3 to 1 ratio. So 3 conure years for every human one.

You're a little off, John. We live to be about 79 now.
-- average human lifespan --

I've never been the brightest bulb on the tree but my calculations, as best as I could figure, came out to be about 4 or maybe 5... AND I WAS RIGHT!!! according to that bird year calculator anyway. That makes Farlie about 10 years old. (No wonder he's such a pain...)

 

[Chase Hein]

I’m pretty sure the classic “dog year” is just divided. If a dog lives 15 years and a person lives ninety, you just divide. A dog year is pretty much made up. I’m not sure though.

253?! That's one dusty 30 yr old bird!

Buzzard's already 144 years old! I should be nicer to him & gum his food for him.

Imagine how old @Macawnutz girl is!!!

 

[Peachfaced]

According to that calculator, Rupert would be 27, and Sherbie would be 44. I can assure you, that both of them act like rowdy teenagers.

Are you sure? That could be a world record. Guinness book anyway.


Charlie

Oldest Macaw

Charlie, a blue macaw, is still alive and kicking despite hatching all the way back in 1899. At 117 years old, Charlie blows the average 50-year life span of macaws out of the nest. Legend has it that Charlie was originally Winston Churchill's companion.

As far as I know, there is no evidence of the bird being born in 1899 as the owner claims, the administration of Churchill's former country home has no record of any parrot being there, and Churchill's daughter denies that he ever owned a macaw. He did own an African Grey, but reportedly sold the bird before becoming Prime Minister.

That does say “legend has it”.

Also, pretty sure @faislaq meant in human years
