The average life spans are as follows:
Macaws 50 to 100
Cockatoos 40 to 80
Amazons 50 to 70
African Grays 50 to 80
Conure 25 to 40 years
Cockatiel 15 to 30
Parakeets 18 years
Lovebirds average 15 years
Canaries average 10 to 15 years
Finches average 5 to 10
All of this is theoretically; their life span all depends on how well they are taken care of, for example, I have a peach faced lovebird their life span is 10-15 yrs... mine is 16 yrs old now... in rare occurrences they have been known to live as long as 20 years old... I can only hope. Don't just feed seeds or pellets... Parrots need both. plus fruits and veggies they need regular vet check-ups and grooming as well. and if you are lucky THEY WILL outlive you.

A Parrots Average Life Span
So you’ve made the decision to enrich your life with a feathered friend. Parrots are unique among pet birds in that they have the potential to be with you for your entire life. A parrot’s life span in captivity is considerably shorter than his potential life span. This is due to environmental factures. How long they enrich your life is in your hands. Proper nutrition and veterinary care are key factures in the life span of your companion bird. Here are some approximate life spans for various species of common companion birds.
NOTE: The larger the parrot the longer the commitment. Most of these birds require a lifetime commitment.
Macaws 50 to 100
Cockatoos 40 to 80
Amazons 50 to 70
African Grays 50 to 80
Conure 25 to 40 years
Cockatiel 15 to 30
Parakeets 18 years
Lovebirds average 15 years
Canaries average 10 to 15 years
Finches average 5 to 10

It depends on the type of parrot. The Macaw can live to be over 70 years old but other types of parrots don't live to be nearly as old. Decide how big of a commitment you are willing to give (ie can you give 50 or more years of your life to a bird or would 10 years be more reasonable) and then look at the type of parrot that you would be willing to commit to.

When you say "Parrot", it ranges from parakeets like budgerigars to macaws and cockatoos. While budgies and cockatiels live up to less than two decades, larger parrots like macaws can live up to 50 or 60 years. Cockatoos can even live up to 80 years. The first answer is partially correct, it shouldn't have been rated down. It's true that many parrots outlive their owners.

depending on what type of parrot, parakeets/bugdies can live up to 15-20 years if taken care of properly! larger parrots such as cockatoos, macaws can live to over 100 years! remember buying a bird is a life time commitment!!!

Parrots can easily live for 50 or more years, depending upon the species, the care given, etc.
