A falcon's lifespan depends on species and environment. In the wild, most falcons live 10 to 15 years, while in captivity they can live 20 to 30 years.
Factors include species, habitat quality, health, disease, and human impact such as habitat loss and pollution. For example, Peregrine Falcons may live 10 to 15 years in the wild and up to 20 in captivity, while Gyrfalcons can reach 25 years in captivity.
Individual falcons may live longer or shorter lives depending on these variables.
