Incredible bird this one, the minimum age is as old as I am, 50 years! He was allowed my father when I was fed up. He lived in our family home at home, in Central Java, to this day. My own father was long dead and kakaklah that continues to this day maintain. I myself leaving these birds since I was in high school, 34 years ago, in the city of Malang. Because I love animals, which is always yelling call: old older brother ... brother ... when I pass (maybe I should have called him brother), he often I stroked when I was a child. Just because I dared to pet her instinct alone, because his beak like a sudden bite. But it almost never does to me for this, but I stroked it while talking to someone else, perhaps she is jealous.

 He likes hanging out of his cage which we deliberately open continuously from morning until evening, so that he can walk around the cage as he pleases. If we close the evening because she worried eaten by rats. When our high school school holidays and I return home, the bird was still always recognize me and scream loud once when I approached: old brother ... brother of old ...! Then spontaneously ask her out of the cage and stroked! I've certainly done that countless times a day when I'm home.
ou know, it turned out to be an avid bird eat pieces of cheese! Initially, my sister did not know. Because brother tried in the field of bread, then he likes to bring the pieces of cheese in the tray. By accident he passed the bird that was hanging outside the cage. Whether calculated or how the corn seed, the bird suddenly ambushed and stealing cheese tray keeps back into place. My sister surprised and noticed the bird. Turns out he devoured the cheese with a thrill! Since then, every day a piece of cheese the size of 1 × 1x10 cm has always been its quota.


Now I've half a century old, living in Bandung and rarely return home since our father died about 10 years ago. When our big family reunion took about a month ago, I came. I'm really amazed at how the birds are still healthy. Look at the shiny feathers and so clean, indicating he was very very healthy. Maybe food cheese was joined contribute. It is very hard to believe these birds can survive the age of his way, very precise bears the name of brother Tua. Perhaps the beauty doctor who likes researching how to prevent aging, need to examine this bird for answers: how the regeneration of cells in the body of the bird is in progress so that it remains capable of producing young cells to replace the cells of her? Who knows humans can emulate. A Greeting.
