How long do conures live
Most conures live 20–30 years; smaller Pyrrhura species toward 20, larger Aratinga toward 30. Longevity tracks diet and vet care. The classic errors — all-seed diet, no yearly avian check, and untreated beak or feather disease — are what cut them short.
Diet and chewing
Pellet base (60–70%), daily vegetables, some fruit, and hard chew toys (pine, manzanita) to wear the ever-growing beak. Sun conures in particular are prone to obesity on rich diets. No avocado, chocolate, caffeine, or salt. A cuttlebone and fresh water daily.
