Reduce or avoid foods that harm the prostate. You may be surprised at how many common foods irritate the prostate and can contribute to a rise in PSA levels and an enlarged prostate. 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.
it seems like many people have their parakeets/budgies for 5-7 years, maybe 10 if they are lucky. But it seems like they can live up to 15 years if they are healthy, eat a good diet (like harrison'spellets and some seeds & veggies/fruits), and live in an environment free of scented sprays, candles, and other irritants to the lungs. (BTW, those are not healthy for people to breathe either) 20-25 years.
