Best Answer

The average lifespan for a budgie is between 5 - 8 years. This can extend to 15 if the bird is well fed and kept in clean conditions.

Life span depends on genetics and how well a bird is cared for during its lifetime.

It honestly depends on the budgie's country of origin. Budgies in Australia, their country of origin, easily live between 10 and 15 years in captivity. In England, years of inbreeding and changing the birds' natural size and certain characteristics has resulted in shorter lifespans of just a few years.
