Parrots are special among pet birds because many species have the potential to be with you for your entire life. They also often outlive their owners. Parrots usually live longer in captivity than in the wild because they are less likely to encounter predators and disease while living in a home. That, however, doesn't mean they are exempt from illness and shortened lifespans.
As a general rule, the larger the bird, the longer the expected lifespan is. Listed below are some estimated lifespans for common parrots and other pet birds. I find this FASCINATING!

40 to 60 years, or more
Amazon Parrots
25 to 75 years
Budgerigars (Parakeets)

Caiques
Up to 50 years
Canaries

Cockatoos

Eclectus Parrots
