Question
My husband and I have a nanday conure, can you tell me what their life span is?  

Answer
If properly cared for, Conures can live into their 30's... unfortunately, the average is only 10 to 15 years because most people have no idea how to care for their birds properly (never recieve vet care, proper diet, or because of accidents... usually caused by unclipped wings).

I hope this helps answer your question. :) Happy Holidays!
