How long do budgerigars (budgies) live?

The budgerigar’s average lifespan is 7-10 years. Captive budgies outlive wild ones, possibly reaching 12 years and occasionally about 20.

Wild budgerigars mostly live 7-8 years. The difference comes down to care and safety.

To help a budgie live longer, the owner must learn scientific husbandry and care for it attentively. Good nutrition and routine matter most.

Also keep its enclosure clean and ensure the air is fresh and well circulated. A healthy environment extends its life.
