['My pet parrot died this week.', "I'm sorry to hear that. I understand they can live a really long time. Was it an old parrot?", "Not hat old, about 25.  He had a lot of years left but he got a disease I can't spell and passed away suddenly.  I've had him since he was a baby though."]
That's sad to hear. I'm sure he lives a great life none the less.
