Would a 7 year old cockatiel be too old to learn tricks?

I have a 7 year old cockatiel. I’ve heard that the younger cockatiels are easier to teach tricks. Seven years of age isn’t necessarily that old, but would it be possible for me to teach him a word to say or a trick?
Thank you!
I have had him since he was very young. We have bonded throughout the years and he is very nice to me.
Please include tricks that are easy to teach in your answer.
Thank you to all the people that answered my question I appriciate it!

You should be able to teach him at any age. We get in rescues of all age and most of them learn very quickly. Find his fav treat and teach by repetition and reward. Say something over and over, when ever he says it give a treat. You can also use que words like I used to fake sneeze then say bless you. Eventually my bird started to mimic so I would sneeze and if he said bless you he got a treat. You can do that with anything. Just stay consistent and positive. Good Luck
