It depends on the species and the health of the individual bird. Some large species can live to be 60 or older. Birds that learn to mimic when they are young will usually still remember the sounds they learned even decades later as long as the behavior is reinforced. This is why it not a good idea to teach a parrot to swear. Your parrot may outlive you and it can be hard to find a good home for a parrot that makes objectionable noises. Even old birds can still learn new things. In fact, it is best to keep up with a training routine for a bird's whole life to keep their behavior in line and to keep them from getting bored.
