What is the normal lifespan for parakeets?

Answer by  Amom (701)

A parakeet's lifespan depends on how well the bird is cared for during its lifetime, but the average is between 5 to 8 years but some with good genes can live up to 12 years.

If a parakeet has good care and diet, reportedly they can live 10-15 years, occasionally some living longer. Parakeets love attention and can be taught to talk somewhat. Their diet of seed can be complemented with fruits, raw and cooked veggies, dandelion and clover plants. Keep their living area clean and give fresh water daily. Have a daily exercise routine.

Parakeets have a life span between 15 to 20 years. It depends if they are in the wild or if they are a pet. If they are a pet it depends on how you treat and take care of them.

One of my two pet parakeets just died. I am afraid the other will be sad without his friend. Will he be OK?
