Well, by all accounts, birds don't age the same way as other animals do and if there are physical signs of deterioration, I would recommend you get a complete physical [exam, CBC, Avian chem panel and bile acids] because what the vet calls 'old age' is, most likely, a physical problem like liver malfunction, enlarged heart or something that can be helped through supplements and diet. Just because a bird is old, it doesn't mean that one should assume it's something that cannot be helped...
