to my knowledge there is no way of telling-- however i am not a vet, just studying to be one :)
African Greys and other medium sized parrots can live into their 70's pr 80's. This is why it is important if you plan n getting a large parrot to plan and be sure you can commit that many years to the parrot. many parrots are sadly dumped resold over and over or left in rescues because the person has kids and finds having a child and having a parrot (which is like caring for a 2 year old that never grows up. They have to be cooked for and chopped fruit and veggies buy toys that are 25 to 40.00 only to have that bird destroy it in a day They will destroy furniture window sills drywall etc if not watched at all times and will pluck and self mutilate if not kept busy just like a kid) is too much for them Or they go to college or work too many hours or get with a guy or girl that dislikes the bird and the person gets rid of the bird to please the new love in their life.So many sure you can in fact dedicate the years it takes even smaller parrots like conures can live to be 30 do you even know where you will be in 30 years? can you dedicate that time to commit to never leave that bird?
