Expert Answer

The average lifespan of a red-billed leiothrix is around 10 years, but in captivity it is affected by living conditions and the owner’s care, and well-cared-for birds can live up to 20 years. To help your leiothrix live longer, you must take meticulous care of it.

Leiothrix are not cold-hardy, so the owner should keep them warm, provide adequate nutrition, and take them out for regular activity to keep them healthy and happy.
