A remarkable 32-year-old cockatiel has officially made history after being recognized as the oldest living cockatiel in the world, earning a place in the record books and capturing hearts across the globe.
Nicknamed a “millennial bird” by amused fans online, the long-lived cockatiel has far surpassed the species’ typical lifespan. While cockatiels in captivity usually live between 15 and 25 years, reaching 32 years is considered exceptionally rare.
The bird’s owners say the secret to its longevity lies in a balanced diet, regular veterinary care, daily social interaction, and plenty of mental stimulation. Known for its affectionate personality and cheerful whistles, the cockatiel continues to enjoy an active life despite its advanced age.
Guinness World Records officials verified the bird’s age through documentation and veterinary records, confirming its status as the world’s oldest known living cockatiel. The achievement has delighted bird lovers and pet owners, many of whom shared stories of their own feathered companions online.
