Hi Nakia:

When I was a teenager, I got a second hand bird, a Congo African Grey named Maxine. My neighbor, Miss Doris, gave her to me. It had been her husband's bird, but she was terrified of her. After her husband passed away, Maxine was not let out of her cage for 10 years. It took a long time, and a lot of nips for her to trust me too. I certainly made a lot of mistakes. She was never a cuddly bird, I was only useful for moving her from point A to point B. She passed on at the ripe old age of 51+. She was a wild caught import, so I can only say the number of years that she was in captivity. All in all, her last 20 something years were good with a healthy variety of foods, toys, exercise, and attention (on her terms). After she cam to live with me, I found out she could talk (like a trucker). She never talked around Miss Doris.
