That is not winston churchills parrot. It is clearly a scarlet or greenwing in the picture on his shoulder and this is a blue and gold. You can tell by the upper mandible on the scarlets and greenwings are a whitish ivory colour and the blue and golds are black.
It may not be his bird, but that is a blue and gold macaw in the picture, meaning it looks EXACTLY like the bird in this video. All of those who say you can tell it isn't are full of shit, it is very hard to distinguish one bird from another up close and personal, to do so from a black and white photo would be next to impossible, unless maybe it was your bird, or had some distinguishing marks. Absurd.
@plastcbrane No Blue and Gold macaws have white on their beak. The one in the picture clearly has a white upper mandible... something you don't need a color photograph to see this.
I agree, it is not the same bird as in the photo which possibly shows Sir Winston at a zoo in Florida. However, I still think that the verbal evidence is credible and that she was kept outside in the garden at Chartwell.
The black and white photograph doesnt support it the colors dont match. There is no black around the eyes in the photograph and the yellow in the chest is two dark in the photograph. I dont think this is his bird.
@Thelongmanable All blue and gold macaws have black around the eyes. Google blue and gold Macaw photos. They all basically look the same you can't tell one from the other. The photo is no evidence one way or the other
@Thelongmanable - No one said Charlie is the bird in the picture, which he obviously is not - Charlie is a Blue and Gold Macaw, in the picture there is a Triton Cockatoo and a Scarlet Macaw.
But if Churchills parrot was known to swear, and this one does not, I'm doubtful this is the one.
Also, at the age of 107 he should have lots of health problems. The well cared-for Major Mitchell's Cockatoo in Chicago Zoo, who is confirmed born in 1933, has lots of age-related health issues.

@nbaballa14 Agreed. The parrot in the picture with Winston is most definitely not a Blue and Gold.
