The bird, named Spodles, was officially recorded at 32 years and 86 days old, far exceeding the typical lifespan of captive parakeets, which generally ranges between 15 and 20 years._x000D_

Its owner, Amanda Beath, said her mother gave her the bird as a gift in 1997, when Spodles was about three years old._x000D_

Although Spodles is not as talkative as it once was, Amanda said the beloved pet still starts each morning by saying, “Pretty bird,” a habit that continues to reflect its charming personality.
