How Long Do Parrots Live

The lifespan of a parrot varies depending on the species. Some smaller parrots, such as budgies and cockatiels, can live for 10 to 15 years. Medium-sized parrots, such as conures and amazons, can live for 20 to 30 years. Larger parrots, such as macaws and cockatoos, can live for 50 to 100 years or more. In captivity, with proper care and nutrition, parrots can often live longer than they would in the wild.
