We picked up Bonnie on 19th January this year & the breeder said she was 8 weeks old then...so her hatchday was probably on 24th November  . Seeing as we've most likely missed the actual day, we might make it her pickup day instead  ! I wonder how 1 parrot year would translate to human years? |

Happy (possible) Hatchday to Bonnie!  |

I don't know the hatch date of either of mine, so I pick a date and call it their birdthday. Happy Birdthday, Bonnie! How will you celebrate her day, whatever it is? For a quaker I'd guess one year would translate roughly to around two and a half of ours. |

I actually wondered what the bird to human "year" works out as. Happy hatchday to Bonnie, whenever you decide to make it.
we will have had Mr P one year on 1-4-14 (so easy to remember) so we are making that his official celebration day. He was 3 when we got him, so on that day he will also unofficially turn 4.

I think we'll make her hatchday/birdthday (good one, easttex!) the day I picked her up. As to what we'll be doing, who knows, probably just running around cleaning up after her and trying to minimise the chaos as usual.  |

Happy hatchday Bonnie. Hope you got lots of yummy treats. Shah's hatchday is also a guess. I got him when he was 5 months old but had no specific date so just backdated the months and had a guess at a date. At the end of the day, he doesn't care - every day is like a birthday to him because he gets to rule the roost every day.

Well, my answer was pretty simplistic, just based on expected life spans of 30 vs 80. It doesn't really hold up to much scrutiny if you're looking at when certain things happen. A Quaker can be sexually mature, I believe, at less than two years. We're not there yet at our "equivalent" age of five. I'm not sure that many parrots ever get out of the "terrible twos." |
