"You know, she still can successfully improve the young sixty years old many, is beyond words," the USGS birds which project principal Bruce Peterjohn said. "Take the bird in the process, although there is no significant changes in the past century, the bird with a simple Numbers of metal band provided information has changed our knowledge of birds."
At the same time also appeared other albatross found that estimates is fifty years old of wild birds, wisdom is born in such an advanced, the only a record. Although, some scientists may have seen the future feat, wisdom gave birth to two years ago, has bred a chicken since 2006, a total of five chicks.
"Although I already old, grey and get only about use crutches, wisdom is still only appearance and behavior one day, I banded her, said:" when he retired U.S. geological survey in his forties scientists of chandler Robbins, who was in 1956 the first strip wisdom.
In 2001, Robbins "rediscovery" wisdom, help the U.S. geological survey to determine her age and track record her reproductive habits.
Due to the saddle albatross partner's life, the United States geological survey, the officials estimate that wisdom had to take several "younger" male over the years of cooperation partners, to help promote the estimates, 35 chicken.
