Wild bird life

1 Follower

Birds in captivity generally live longer than their wild counterparts because they are not subject to the same risks and survival pressures that wild birds face. Birds in captivity are never lacking food, are not usually hunted by predators, do not need to expend energy to forage or relay, and often have access to appropriate veterinary care, making them less vulnerable to injuries or illnesses. If birds in zoos, poultry, or even pets are taken care of, they may outlive wild birds for many years. Not all bird species adapt well to captive conditions, however, some species may have a shorter life span due to captive stress or improper care.
