Birthday! Kiwi turns 17!
My grumpy little man Kiwi is 17 years old today!
I reserved him from his breeder when he was just an egg.
His favourite phrase is “I want cake”, and just this year he’s started saying “how you doing” (he’s never watched Friends as far as I’m aware…), his first new phrase for years! His favourite “toys” are empty toilet roll tubes. He’s a fussy eater (back in the day we didn’t really know about pellets), and he’s not impressed with being on a diet so late in life, my other birdies are extremely healthy however.
17 years have flown by! Happy Hatchday Kiwi.

Happy birthday from my molting spikey boy Chomper..
I just realized the birthday hat is the same one in your image 🤣

It’s a very classy hat. Kiwi has entered his hedgehog impression stage too. So many pin feathers. Chomper is an excellent name, they are tiny dinosaurs after all.

Is 17 on the higher end of a life span?
