A grey heron aged 15 years 8 months is like a human aged 42 years 4 months

If a grey heron is 15 years 8 months old, that is like a human aged about 42 years 4 months (accuracy ±1 month 1 week). It is not “multiply by 7”: the calculator matches life-cycle control points — birth, puberty, adulthood, average and maximum lifespan — and builds a conversion curve from them.

How old is a grey heron aged 15 years 8 months in human years?

About 42 years 4 months (accuracy ±1 month 1 week).

Why is the age not converted linearly?

Animals age differently: for some, childhood lasts a month, for others a decade; some live to 5, others to 200. So the calculator does not multiply by 7 — it matches up to 8 life-cycle control points.

Can I choose another age or animal?

Yes, the calculator is right on this page: pick the animals, sex and age or birth date, even an approximate one, and the result updates.
