Here's Coto, that's what my mother use to call him. We inherited him, or rather her from my mother when she could no longer take care of her. I always have thought of her as a him, I don't know why. I know it's a her because she used to lay an egg every now and then of course we left it in with her for a little while then when she wasn't looking took it out so it wouldn't rot. We didn't know how to get the eggs to fertilize or whatever they do and my parents were not really interested in having more parrots. I don't know how old she is but know she has been around since I was at least 10 yrs old, i'm now 44 so that's a long time. I know they live for 70-100 years, and I like that.

What kind of bird is Coto? Looks like an Amazon of some sort. WOW.....he has surely been well taken care of to be healthy and live such a long life ....but that is what they are supposed to do .... live a long time but in captivity they don't always get what they need compared to their native land and they don't always live that long.
