"Red, a macaw that chatters in a sing-song tone about that fairy tale from Xilaralavia to outsiders...
Every characteristic of this bird matches exactly with what Uncle Andrew described in his journal. Could it be the same parrot from 11 years ago?"
No wonder Byron harbored doubts and found it hard to decide.
Though a parrot's lifespan could be seventy to eighty years, and it could certainly have appeared before Andrew Lancaster 11 years ago, then encountered Fat Dragon 11 years later. However, let's not forget that when Silvergold Island disappeared from the material world, the flow of time within the island was not synchronized with the outside world.
This was evident from the already decayed hull of the adventure ship. While only 11 years had passed in the outside world, at least a hundred years had likely passed on the island. This suggested a time discrepancy of at least tenfold.
If that parrot from back then is still alive now, then he must be at least a hundred years old.
