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.
Asker's rating. 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! 2  The average life span is 15-20yrs for a parakeet. The reson most don't live past 8 yrs is because people don't know the proper diet for their bird. Most feed just seed and water nothing else. Yours has probably lived this long because you have the bird on a pellet/seed mix with fresh/frozen fruits and vegi's.
