I have no idea of Johnny's age (he's a tiel). I got him from a friend of a friend, who was moving out of state and "couldn't" take him. She said she'd had him for seven years, but she had no idea how old he was and couldn't tell me anything about the home before hers.
I was off work for several days because I'm working the holiday weekend, and I noticed he takes a lot of naps during the day. I don't usually get to see him during the day because I'm at work. He took a nap yesterday afternoon and again in the early evening. None of the others did. And he actually went to sleep; he didn't just pull up one foot and doze like I've seen the others do sometimes during the afternoon. I don't suppose there's any way to make an educated guess on the age of a bird if you don't have a band and don't have a history on him, but he eats and poops normally, behaves normally, etc., so the naps make me think maybe he's older than I realize and just slowing down.
