Winston Churchill's parrot has been found alive, well and as potty-mouthed as ever.
Charlie the parrot, spry at 104, still sometimes repeats sayings her master taught her — "Bleep the Nazis" and "Bleep Hitler" — according to London's Daily Mirror.
Churchill bought the blue-and-gold female macaw in 1937, adding her to an extensive collection of pets that included pigs, sheep, swans and one leopard.
The future prime minister apparently began to teach the bird to curse, particularly if company was present.
Charlie's current owner, Peter Oram of Reigate, Surrey south of London, bought Charlie after Churchill died in 1965. At first he kept her in his pet shop, but had to bring her home because she kept swearing at children.
James Humes, a Churchill expert, told the Mirror: "Churchill may no longer be with us, but that spirit and those words of defiance and resolve continue."

104? Holy cow!!!

Whoa!!!!!!!!!!

My great-grand-daughter Emily the II may get Ruby!

There seems to be controversy about who's who. Very Tabloid.

Here's Charlie.

You beat me too it.

Ok even if not Churchill, is 104 a good number, I did not know macaws live so long, I was thinking more 50 -60 years max.

Hmmmm interesting.

Has anyone read anywhere if there is any proof of the birds age?

I mean I've read that they can technically live upwards of 100 years old...but it's insanely rare.

........and stirs up all kinds of emotions with two so young babies here.....Both thrilled and devastated that they will possibly outlive me....

...hmmmm food for thought.

That's one of my questions... how does one age a bird? Can it be done?
