Like it was mentioned above if kept well, in captivity they live a lot longer then their cousins that lives out in the wild.

The avarage life span of a tiel is 15 to 20 years but with the right care they can live upto 30 plus years my grandad use to have a tiel that lived 35 year this was before i was born he died a few days before i turned one.
