| A friend of mine has an amazon parrot that is approx. 32 years old. Recently she took "Bird" to a new Vet for some ongoing health issues; this new Vet said that Amazons in captivity rarely live past the age of thirty. I have always heard differently, please let me know of your experiences. Thanks, Marcia |

| Anywhere from 40 to 65 years DEPENDING on how well the bird is cared for.... |

| Many Amazons in captivity don't live past that age due to their diet, housing and the stress they're subjected to. Ditto what mazer said. |
