I'm not sure what a "red-headed lorikeet" is--I can't find any reference to the except for your questions.
I have a rainbow lory who is at least 18 (I've HAD him for 18 years and he was not a baby when I got him) and I saw a red lory up for adoption who was 34. However I've lost lories at ages 6, 12 and 15--although only the 15 year old was of "old age" and she also had defective kidneys.
Most lories seem to make it to 15-20 or more years with proper care.

You already have the answer but I'll answer it anyway as you have some incorrect answers too. The average life span of a lorikeet is 25 years and they may live up to 30 years.

I don't know for lorikeets, but most parrot-like birds that size live for 10 to 25 years.

Approx 20 years. Remember that their are many sub-species of Lorikeets and there is a wide range of life spans on the different sub-species. In captivity the life span could vary. Depending on all factors, they could live a shorter or longer life span. Remember they are a social bird and should be kept in pairs because they are found in flocks in the wild. Lonely birds can die young.

Lorikeets live for about 7-9 years in captivity, and are fairly high maintenance.
However, they are beautiful birds!

With proper care and nutrition and daily socialization it can live for 20 years at least but some live into their 30s.

Approx 25 + years, as long as it is given the correct care, nutrition, worming, love etc needed to give maximum longevity.
