Well happy birthday Fred! Amazing they can live that long! I think Alfie the 'evil' goffin will live to be over 100 just out of sheer meanness:D

Way to go, Fred! That's also a pretty good endorsement of the sanctuary and its care. I've seen some people online with opinions that living at a "zoo" is inferior to a domestic home.

What an awesome story, Amanda, and it made me tear up a bit. I wish they all could live that long, and be that loved:)

Me too Terry. The only down side to having a pet is that you eventually have to say good bye. I guess though with Fred as a pet he would be the one saying good bye.

I just had to share such a fabulous story. It just shows if you give them the proper care and enrichment, it shows how long they can be around. :)

Poor Fred, imagine the people he has had to say goodbye to. I bet his original owners would be thrilled with how well he is doing:)

How awesome is that!

I can't help but to feel sorry for Fred though - imagine all his "mates" that have passed on during his lifetime, what a horrible thing to go through multiple times.

He must be a happy boy though to get to a 100, and a letter from the queen - woohoo!
