It doesn't matter, because the character is a bard, not a thief. It means that you roll starting age using the same formula for fighters.

((The parrot's not flying all the time, but if sharks are swirling around the boat, it makes sense that it would be, so yeah, no roll.))

I actually think you are correct, but both classes seemed to be underrated and overlooked back then. They both had slightly quirky...

OOC: Is the parrot is exempted?

There is more. In 1e, recovering spells takes a long time. At high levels, you can't unload all your spells and recover them next day...

Yeah, when I active on DF this one was a recurring discussion...

I'm familiar with this position (which is reasonable), but I disagree. You decide to be a bard at the time of creation. You must meet...
