I knew parrots lived long but I just looked up actual documented lifespans and some canary have lived over 40 years in captivity. My Blu could outlive me. Has anyone here actually thought about a plan for their bird if something happens to them? This just got real.

Don't worry, this is super common with Pionus. You're doing great!

Second vote for BST. They boarded my lineolated parakeet last summer and I could tell Peaches was well cared for when I picked them up. Total peace of mind.

LOVE this post! More of this energy please. The bird community needs more positive threads like this.

There's a great bird supply store in Brampton that carries exactly what you need. I go there all the time.
