What is the Irish robins lifespan?

Answer 1

Just over one (1) year is the expected lifespan of an Irish robin (Erithacus rubecula melophilus).

Specifically, the first year of existence is the most dangerous for a robin. If a robin can survive that first perilous year, then the lifespan may range from a couple to 10+ years of existence. It depends upon the numbers and agility of predators in the parks and gardens that the Irish robin tends to call home.

Answer 2

Two or three years tends to be the expected lifespan of the American or red-breasted robin (Turdus migratorius).

Specifically, birds are both predators and prey. In the wild, that role tends to give a robin an average life expectancy of only a couple years. But there are exceptions, and the longest-lived robin reached the ripe old age of 14 years!
