 | | According to David Alderton ("You & Your Pet Bird," 1992), the average life span of the grey cheek is 15 years, but the I have heard of grey cheeks living well into their 20s if properly cared for, fed a nutritional, balanced diet, and kept out of mischief. |
 | | In my opinion, grey cheeks, though not always predictable, sure are a barrel of fun, keep you on your toes, and bring a lot of joy into your life. |
 | | They are often quite fearless, and their curious nature can get them into scrapes with larger birds, with other household pets, and can even endanger their own lives when out wandering if not properly supervised during "out" time (Harris). |
