A sulphur-crested cockatoo has apparently made it to his 100th year, surpassing most birds of his kind by 60 years.
一只葵花鳳頭鸚鵡迎來(lái)了他的100歲生日，比它的大多數(shù)同類多活了60年。

Keeping to tradition, Fred - the flying-centenarian, was sent a letter from The Queen at Buckingham Palace to mark his special milestone.
按照傳統(tǒng)，這只名為“弗雷德”的百歲鸚鵡，也如那些百歲老人一樣，從白金漢宮收到女王的信件紀(jì)念這個(gè)特殊的日子。（注：英國(guó)白金漢宮有一個(gè)工作團(tuán)隊(duì)，其主要任務(wù)是讓那些百歲老人包括動(dòng)物，在生日時(shí)可以接到來(lái)自女王的賀卡）

The talking-bird was also thrown a huge birthday-bash by his carers at the Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary outside Hobart on Sunday.
周日，波諾朗野生動(dòng)物療養(yǎng)院（位于霍巴特以外）的撫養(yǎng)員們?yōu)檫@只會(huì)說(shuō)話的鳥舉辦了一場(chǎng)大型生日派對(duì)。

Greg Irons, Director of Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary told Daily Mail Australia that Fred could in fact be even older than 100.
波諾朗野生動(dòng)物療養(yǎng)院負(fù)責(zé)人格雷格?埃倫斯告知澳大利亞每日郵報(bào)的記者，弗雷德事實(shí)上可能不止100歲。

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.
如果年齡屬實(shí)，那么這只高齡鳥類可能生于1915年一戰(zhàn)時(shí)期左右，它的飛行里程已承載著百年的記憶。

'He doesn't do a lot of flying, still dances, sings and talks a lot.
“他現(xiàn)在不怎么飛行，但仍在跳舞，唱歌，會(huì)說(shuō)很多話。”

Other than a few sprains, Fred has had no health issues and has not visited a vet in 10 years.
除了偶爾扭傷，弗雷德沒有任何健康問(wèn)題，10年來(lái)它從沒看過(guò)獸醫(yī)。

For cockatoos living in captivity like Fred, 70 is considered extraordinarily old. Sulphur-crested cockatoos in the wild live to about 40-years-old.
對(duì)于像弗雷德那樣圈養(yǎng)的鳳頭鸚鵡，活到70歲已屬高齡。而野生的葵花鳳頭鸚鵡大約只能活到40歲左右。

'Fred doesn't think he is a bird, he thinks he is a person, so when he has all that human attention he loves it.
“弗雷德并不認(rèn)為自己是只鳥，它認(rèn)為自己和人一樣，他喜歡得到所有人的關(guān)注。

'It was so touching to see everyone here,' Mr Irons said. 'It says a lot about animals in general.'
“能夠在這里見到大家真是太感動(dòng)了！”埃倫斯先生說(shuō)，“總之，這對(duì)動(dòng)物來(lái)說(shuō)意義重大。”

But Fred doesn't warm to everyone - he has a preference.
但弗雷德并不是對(duì)所有人都熱情，他有自己的偏好。

'He is one for the ladies - he doesn't like males. He is a man-hater.'
“他專屬于女士，不喜歡男性，是男性厭惡者。 ”

Fred, who is 'full-of-life and constantly interacting with humans', is an icon for all animals, according to Mr Irons.
埃倫斯先生說(shuō)，弗雷德活力四射，不斷與人交流，它是所有動(dòng)物的偶像。

He said he has seen a few cockatoos reach 120-years-old but none quite like Fred.
他說(shuō)，雖然見過(guò)一些120歲左右的鳳頭鸚鵡，但都不同于弗雷德。

'He is a special boy to all of us - he brings a lot of life.
“它對(duì)于我們來(lái)說(shuō)是特別的存在，他給我們注入了生機(jī)與活力。 ”

'I would love to think he would be around for another 10 or 20 years.'
“我相信它能再活十年甚至二十年。
