A sulphur-crested cockatoo has apparently made it to his 100th year, surpassing most birds of his kind by 60 years. 一只葵花凤头鹦鹉迎来了他的100岁生日，比它的大多数同类多活了60年。 Keeping to tradition, Fred - the flying-centenarian, was sent a letter from The Queen at Buckingham Palace to mark his special milestone. 按照传统，这只名为“弗雷德”的百岁鹦鹉，也如那些百岁老人一样，从白金汉宫收到女王的信件纪念这个特殊的日子。（注：英国白金汉宫有一个工作团队，其主要任务是让那些百岁老人包括动物，在生日时可以接到来自女王的贺卡） The talking-bird was also thrown a huge birthday-bash by his carers at the Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary outside Hobart on Sunday. 周日，波诺朗野生动物疗养院（位于霍巴特以外）的抚养员们为这只会说话的鸟举办了一场大型生日派对。 Greg Irons, Director of Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary told Daily Mail Australia that Fred could in fact be even older than 100. 波诺朗野生动物疗养院负责人格雷格•埃伦斯告知澳大利亚每日邮报的记者，弗雷德事实上可能不止100岁。 If Fred's age is in fact correct, the senior bird would have been born around World War 1 in 1915, flying his way through a hundred years of memories. 如果年龄属实，那么这只高龄鸟类可能生于1915年一战时期左右，它的飞行里程已承载着百年的记忆。 |
