Wild Lifespan. In their natural wild habitats, cockatiels, on average, live between 10 and 14 years, indicates Animal Diversity Web via the University of Michigan. Their average age for passing away is younger in the wild than it is in captivity. Captive Lifespan Cockatiels that are kept as pets -- or that live in other captive settings -- can stay alive for up to 25 years or so.
Hatching: Cockatiel eggs hatch 18-21 days after nesting begins. A few days before hatching, the air cell (located at the wider side of the egg) will become larger and start to tilt.
