What is the lifespan of a Texas A&M male quail? I am the owner of a 5 year old and I never expected him to live this long. Is this normal?

Is it normal for his interest in the female quail to b little to nothing? I assume it's his age and hes slowed down but he has no interest in the quail hens.
X2 on the average lifespan, but they can live to 7 even 8 years of age occasionally. I have a 7 year old Bobwhite male right now and he is still full of interest for hens, however his brother, who passed away last summer of 6 years stopped mating with his mate at age 5 years. Each bird is different in health, attitude, energy levels, etc.... Just like humans they all age at different rates.
But you have obviously taken good care of him if he is 5! It is the higher end of average!!
