The passenger pigeon, Ectopistes Migratorious, once the most populous bird on earth, went extinct because of overhunting in the early 1900's. The bird had a life span of 7-12 years, sometimes slightly more.
(This would probably indicate the lifespan in the wild: Martha, the last passenger pigeon, live and died in captivity at the age of 29. This is similar to the Rock Pigeon [the common city pigeon], that lives about 3 years in the wild, yet 15 to 20 years as a pet.)

They can live between 8-15 years in captivity.
