Of course, Wisdom has her own Wikipedia page:

Wisdom (officially named #Z333) is a wild female Laysan albatross, the oldest confirmed wild bird in the world and the oldest banded bird in the world.[1] First tagged in the 1950s at Midway by the United States Geological Survey (USGS), she was still incubating eggs as late as 2020 and has received international media coverage in her lifetime. She was spotted alive and apparently healthy as recently as November 2024.[2]

I had no idea they lived that long. I thought only Macaws did.
