Budgerigars will chew on anything they can find to keep their beaks trimmed. Mineral blocks (ideally enriched with iodine), cuttlebone, and soft wooden pieces are suitable for this activity. In captivity, budgerigars live an average of five to eight years, but life spans of 15â20 years have been reported.The life span depends on breed, lineage, and health, being highly influenced by exercise and diet.he budgerigar is closely related to the lories and the fig parrots. They are one of the parakeet species, a non-taxonomical term that refers to any of a number of small parrots with long, flat and tapered tails. In both captivity and the wild, budgerigars breed opportunistically and in pairs.
This bird, born in the wild, has already survived for three times longer than the estimated average lifespan despite the species being critically endangered, he said. Male helmeted honeyeaters born in the wild at Yellingbo have a life expectancy of about 5.7 years, while females typically live for 4.5 years. The Dear Old Boy was tagged as a nestling in November 1994 as part of a tracking program of the threatened native species.
