Question about how long parrots can lay eggs

[kp_in_scott]

Healthy parrots can live to be 80 y/o. In a breeding situation, female parrots would start breeding and laying eggs around 5 years old right? How many years would a parrot naturally lay and produce young? Do they reach a certain age and just quit?

"D" hasn't started laying eggs, has she?

I know of productive BGs in their late 30's, so I would expect them to probably be similar to humans. After all, their lifespans are similar.

No, no, no! No eggs and no nesting behaviors either. But she sure has been cranky lately. It's strange, she's in the kitchen sitting on a stand next to me. Kiwi is in the living room. They have their backs turned to each other. She is "talking", but not in overdrive.
And I don't want anyone to think that I would ever put Kiwi and "D" in a situation where there would be "intimate contact". My only goal is that they can be in the same room with out disturbing the folks in the next county over.

I heard that IRN can live to be around 30 on a good diet, and a breeder had a female going strong and STILL breeding at the age of 31... Unlike humans, birds can reproduce throughout their entire lifetime so I wouldn't doubt it if someone may have breeding birds over the age of 50, if not older... who knows, not I!
