Life Expectancy of African Greys. African grey parrots are about the same size as Amazon parrots and have about the same life expectancy. With good nutrition and care, an African grey parrot will be your companion for 50 to 60 years. Some African greys have lived to be older than 80 years of age.
If they have been properly socialized they can become very docile and loving. Old and well tamed parrots can still be a bit unpredictable but tend make fairly good family pets or visitors to schools and hospices. In captivity some species of parrot can live to be 80 or 90 years old. In the wild a bird will almost never reach this age, as soon as they become slow they will be picked off by a predator.
