Conures live considerably longer than most people expect. Before buying a conure, understanding its lifespan is important for long-term planning.
Conure lifespans by species:
| Species | Typical Lifespan |
|---|---|
| Sun Conure | 25–30 years |
| Jenday Conure | 20–28 years |
| Green-Cheeked Conure | 15–25 years |
| Nanday Conure | 20–25 years |
Even a Green-Cheeked Conure, the shortest-lived common conure species, can be a 15–25 year commitment. This is a longer lifespan than most dogs and cats. Factor this into your planning before purchase.
Conures should receive annual avian vet wellness checks like any parrot. They are generally hardy birds but are susceptible to a number of conditions including Proventricular Dilatation Disease and respiratory infections. Annual checks allow early detection.
