Fascinating! 104 years, I don't see why not. In fact, the longevity of
parrots is one reason I selected a lovebird rather than a macaw or african
gray... I don't have anyone to will a bird to. It's enough Peaches could
possibly live for 30 years... I'd be in my 70's then :)

Whether the big Macaws and Cockatoos really live past 100 isn't clear.
It is clear that in captivity, if well cared for, they have very very
long lives, people type life spans. Lifespans well past 70 years well
documented. My ex has a Panama, she's had him for 32 years now.
