I thought they lived quite long actually, but I really don't know. She had this bird for at least 8 or 9 years.

Yes, they do. Mine escaped my house.

Now, be a good boy and stop reminding people of their lost animals.

Found this at www.cockatiel.org:

Quote:
A cockatiel's life expectancy ranges from about 10 to 17 years and of course, that depends on how well bred it is and how it's needs are attended to. Sanitary housing, proper nutrition and a safe environment are the necessary requirement to insure your bird a long and healthy life.

Have you ever thought maybe it was happy to escape? And fly free? And just how did it fly away with it's wings clipped?

They actually live a lot longer than that, Jazz. Trouble is you have to "know" your bird, they hide illness very well.
