• These birds can live up to 10 years in captivity, which is practically unheard of in the wild.

Eurasian skylarks typically live from 2 to 5 years, although the maximum recorded lifespan is 10 years and 1 month, with a theoretical lifespan ranging from 7 years and 2 months to 9 years and 2 months. The species reaches sexual maturity between 9 months and 1 week and 1 year and 3 months. An embryo develops inside an egg, and the young bird remains in the nest, being fed insects by its parents. Following this, the young bird after rapid growth learns to fly and finds food independently, a stage lasting from 1 week and 4 days to 11 months. The adult stage, during which the bird can reproduce and sing in flight, lasts from 11 months to 9 years.
