Aged Royal Parrot Ducky’s Century Plus Life at Court
A parrot named Ducky, once owned by the Princess of Wales, reportedly lived over 125 years. Imported from Colombia via Britain, he resided at St James's, then Windsor, and finally Sandringham before his death. Known for talkative chatter and courtly mischief, Ducky was banished from St James in 1850 for divulging family secrets, a fate softened by royal intervention. Although claimed ages exceed a century, scientists note 60s 70s or more as possible limits, with Humboldt and Darwin cited in support of extraordinary longevity.
