True Life Span of Large Macaws
I've always been told that the large macaws will live 80 - 100 years.
However, I'm currently reading the book about the Spix's macaws and it says that a macaw reaching the age of 50 will usually have cataracts, arthritis and the beginnings of senility.
This statement would lead me to believe that they will NOT live to 80 - 100 years.
Does anyone out there know for certain?
Are there any records of macaws living to 80 years + ?
