Cockatiels live about 25 years but most only live to 10 due to accidents, bad nutrition and illness. The world record, however, was 31.
The great thing about cockatiels is that they can live longer than dogs and cats, but they don't live (almost) forever like the larger parrots like amazons and macaws!

How Long Do Cockatiels Live

Cockatiel lifespans in captivity are generally given as 15-20 years, though it is sometimes given as short as 12-15 years and there are anecdotes of cockatiels living as long as 30 years.

Generally they can live to about 25 years if they are on a healthy diet and don't have any health issues. I do know of one lady who has a 29 year old Cockatiel, that may be a record though.

Our male cockatiel is 26 years old. My wife reminds me I told her 10-15 years.

my Sonny Boy, male cockatiel lived to 30 years....passed away today at 4 a.m. He lived a good life and we will miss him greatly. He liked the lights out at 7:30 p.m. and he was well cared for. Miss him already.

We have one that is 11 years old. Most birds live at least 10 years. If well taken care of some can live to 30.
