Choosing pets in the poultry market for themselves, many acquire lovebird parrots for themselves.

The answer is simple: from 10 to 20 years. According to rumors, one of these parrots, thanks to its owner, was able to live up to 35 years, but they have not been tested by anyone. Why is there such a big difference? In order for the lovebird parrot to delight with its presence as long as possible, several factors must converge:

- the presence of a couple - without a girlfriend (or friend), a parrot can live up to 10 years;
- the presence of a large cage with a feeder and drinker placed in it.

In addition, the number of years that a lovebird parrot can live depends on your attitude towards it. If you take good care of him, often talk to him, treat him kindly, then it will certainly increase.
Causes of the early death of lovebirds
There are quite a few of them:
- Diseases. Often, the owners do not carry their pets for examination by a veterinarian, but it should be. After all, lovebirds can suffer from cardiovascular diseases, worms and endocrine diseases.
- Poisoning. If the lovebird gnaws at the honey or zinc rods of the cage, or if bacteria or mold accidentally enter its food, it may die.
- Drowning in a pot of hot soup or toilet, falling, biting the wires, flying out the window, spoiled water.
- Insufficient amount of feed.
- Strong fright. Lovebirds are very shy birds. Even if the jumping cat does not reach them with its paw, their weak heart can stop.
Drawing a conclusion to the article, we can say that how many years lovebirds will live depends, first of all, on their owners. Treat your pet with care, and he will delight you for many more years.
