Lifespan, ageing, and relevant traits
- Maximum longevity
- Not yet established
- Observations
Oldest banded individual was 9 years of age [0450]. Maximum longevity in this species may be considerably underestimated, however, in part because a relatively low number of birds is banded every year [0445]. In captivity these animals have been reported to live up to 13 years [0972], but this has not been verified.
