Iā€™ve been hearing, fairly often, that green cheek conures live 10-15 years! Someone said their vet told them that, but then other sources say 30-40 years? How old are some of your guys green cheeks?
I just feel like, in proportion to size, why wouldnā€™t they live as long or almost as long as cockatiels?
My boy Tom is just 2 years.

Thanks guys!

In the past I was kinda confused too and asked a similar question on another site - in opinion of other people 10-15 years was more for wild GCCs and captive ones live about 20, maybe up to 30. I heard about 30+ from somebody too but I think it's a fake info... or really rare cases.
Unfortunately I can't research it, I'm not 100% sure what were the answers.

My GCC is 7 years old
