Hi CherylAccording to 'Private Lives - Ages, Mates & Movements of some Australian Birds' by Pauline Reilly, a Willie Wagtail banded as an adult was retrapped alive 9 years 4 months later. So it seems likely that they can live to be at least 10 years old. Whether this is an 'average life-span' I do not know. I hope that this is useful, Philip Jackson. |
