My lorita ISA amzona winged and speaking a lot makes too much noise and likes to eat bones .
My question is how many years has to live.
Thank you
It is known from winged Amazon who have lived during 30 years in captivity. There are anecdotal reports of these birds that have lived longer, until 71 years, but these reports remain unverified. It is a long-lived bird, and taking into account reports of similar species, an age between 50 and 60 years It is possible for this Amazon.
