Here are some of the foods and beverages that fall into this category: 1  Foods that contain acrylamide, such as French fries and potato chips (the two biggest offenders) and doughnuts. 2  Foods rich in saturated fats. 3  Excess alcohol. 4  Nonfermented soy products such as tofu and edamame, which can raise estrogen levels. 5  Microwave popcorn.
Usually, small birds like lovebirds, canaries, and parakeets live six years or older, cockatiels about 12 years, and amazons, as well as macaws and cockatoos, 40 years or more.
Answers. 1  Your parakeet can live just as long as your other pets! With proper nutrition and veterinary care, the parakeet life span can exceed 15 years with reports of the oldest parakeet being 20 years old! Just like any other pet, the length of the life span of parakeets depends on how you feed and care for him. First of all, make sure you get a veterinarian that specializes in birds. That way you know he will be up to date on all the latest treatments and know what to look for.
