World’s oldest-known wild bird lays egg in Hawaii at age 74

Wisdom the Laysan albatross has laid what experts estimate may be her 60th egg, and her first in four years

The oldest-known wild bird in the world has laid an egg at the ripe age of about 74, her first in four years, US wildlife officials said.

The long-winged seabird named Wisdom, a Laysan albatross, returned to Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge at the north-western edge of the Hawaiian Archipelago and laid what experts estimate may be her 60th egg, the Pacific Region of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service said in a Facebook post this week.
