I have a friend , here, in Romania, that owns an african grey too.
But he is in the same dillema as I was, about the age of his CAG.
Can anybody approximate the age of this parrot? His name is JAKO

It's really hard to tell from a picture, but I would guess that he's a mature bird. His irises look pretty yellow.

Why is age such a concern? As long as you take good care of your grey, they can out live you Wink Even if your bird is 50 years old, he could live another 20-30 or more years.

I feel, support me here Shirin, vocabulary can be another determination to the "approximate" age. If your bird makes a lot of mimicing noises and has a fairly large vocabulary then he is probably around 5-10+. Greys are known to pick up on a lot of household noises, alarms, telephones, answering machines, dripping water, television shows and comercials, human voices, etc..... without even being tought. If he knows a lot of phrases, then he was tought these over time.

Been working about 70 hours a week and hubby was stuck home for a month and a half from his injury. He's back to work now since monday. I didn't want to spend what little time we had together on the puter. Now I have some "me" time Very Happy I should be back a bit more often now.
