The roof-gull albatross ("Wisdom"), considered the oldest bird on the planet, spawns six years in a row, despite its respectable age, Discovery News TV said.

He often gives birth and flies to the Pacific every year, Bruce Piterdzhon, NABBP North American Bird Program Manager, told reporters.

Scientists believe that Wisdom's age is 62 years, in the wild, it usually lives up to 15-20 years.

For the first time this seagull was discovered and worn by biologist Chandler Robbins in 1956, when the birds hatched eggs on a Pacific island. At that time, the bird was at least 5 years old.

According to scientists, seagulls lay their eggs and hatch more than 30 young birds in their lives.
