The lifespan of a parakeet depends on the species of the parakeet.
Some species of Parakeets live from 5 to 10 years while other parakeets can live as long as 15 to 20 years.
The Budgerigar Parakeet lives from 5 to 10 years.
The Monk Parakeet lives from 15 to 20 years.
And the Plain Parakeet Lives up to 15 years.
Parakeets can sometimes live a little longer than their lifespan just like humans and other animals can.
But most parakeets will not live any longer than 20 years.
