Dave Asprey is a Silicon Valley entrepreneur and leader in the biohacking movement. His most popular innovation, however, is a drink â Bulletproof coffee, which is a mix of oil, butter, and coffee beans. Asprey had the idea in Tibet when, exhausted from hiking in the Himalayas, he was treated by some locals to a tea creamed with yak butter. He felt immediately revitalized.
Small parrots - Budgies live from 17-18 years. A finches average lifespan is 5-10 yrs, while a canaries is 10-15. Cockatiels can live from 15-20, Lovebirds 10-15, and Parrotlets 10-15. Medium parrots - Conures live from 12-30 yrs, Caiques up to 30, and Lories/Lorikeets 13-25. Large parrots - African Greys live from 50-60+ yrs, Amazons 50-70+, Cockatoos 40-60+, Eclectus' 65-85, and Macaws 50-100+. These are just average estimates for parrot lifespans and won't always be accurate.
Asked by: Michael Niman, London. Parrots are the longest-lived order of birds: cockatoos and Amazonian parrots can reach the age of 75 or older. Even budgerigars live for 15â25 years, which is an exceptionally long life for such small animals. The reason for this is that they have few predators and are often colonial, so their chances of finding food are better. Species with lots of predators canât expect to escape being eaten for more than a few years. So they evolve to reproduce as quickly as possible, and in large numbers. This takes a lot of metabolic resources out of the adults, and they are more likely to die shortly after breeding.
