I absolutely love parrots! But I didn't get one for two reasons. First, they should be free and not in a cage. Second, I knew I'd "pop my clogs" [die] before it did.

HMM..YOU THINK YOU WANT A PARROT.

ARE YOU READY FOR A LIFETIME COMMITTMENT?

Pet birds can be quite long lived -- potential owners need to be aware of the age their bird might reach and be prepared to provide proper care for the bird over its entire life span. As a general rule, the larger the bird, the longer the expected life span. Listed below are some estimated life spans for common parrots and other pet birds. These are of course based on a healthy bird kept under ideal conditions. In reality there is quite a wide range in the age that pet birds might reach, and certainly some will even live longer than the ages listed below:

Finches - 15 years

Canaries - 15 years

Budgies - 15 years

Cockatiels - 20 years

Lovebirds - 20 years

Conures - 30 years

Amazons - 50 years

African Greys - 50 years

Cockatoos - 65 years

Macaws - 60 years

Doves and Pigeons - 20 years

Birds do live a long time, but continue to research. I've found PetQnA.com to not be the best place for this research because folks just throw out information based on stuff they have heard or a bad experience..or a good one.
