Wisdom returns to the same nesting site each year to reunite with her mate, and if possible, lay one egg, USFWS Pacific said. Each year, millions of them return to Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge to nest and raise their young. For decades this wise bird reunited with the same partner, Akeakamai, but he hasn't been seen for many years, USFWS Pacific said. By the looks of it in a video USFWS Pacific posted on X, the two wild birds are getting along egg-cellently. Wisdom was first identified and banded with number Z333 in 1956 after she laid an egg, according to USFWS Pacific.

☆ Wisdom the Laysan albatross: This bird is 74 years old. She’s found a new partner and just laid another egg

CNN —The world’s oldest known wild bird has sparked “special joy” among scientists after she laid an egg – her first in four years – at the age of 74. Wisdom, a Laysan albatross, was spotted with the egg and a new partner last week at Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge, an island sanctuary located on the far northern end of the Hawaiian archipelago. A video posted on USFWS’ Facebook page showed Wisdom rubbing her head against her new partner before he sat down to incubate the egg. Biologists spotted Wisdom at Midway Atoll in 2001 with a red band around her leg that they later discovered was placed there by the late renowned ornithologist Chandler Robbins in 1956. Each year, millions of albatrosses return to Midway Atoll to nest and raise their young, according to USFWS.
