average lifespan of a parrot
Best Answer: There really is no such thing as a parrot --there are many types of parrots. A cockatoo type of parrot may live to be over 80. A cockatiel type of parrot may only live to be 15 or 20 years old. Macaws live to be 50 years old or more.I have a rainbow lorikeet who is around 20 years old and I heard of a red lory who was 34, but the average lifespan of a lory/lorikeet seems to be in the mid teens.So the answer depends on what TYPE of parrot you are asking about...and you didn't specify.est Answer: There really is no such thing as a parrot --there are many types of parrots.
