BRETT: It\u2019s one of my favorite parts of the show. The EIB High Note. The EIB High Note: We mentioned earlier in the program that it\u2019d be coming towards the end of the program. It\u2019s about the world\u2019s oldest known wild bird. Let that sink in. It\u2019s the world\u2019s oldest known wild bird, a Laysan albatross named Wisdom, who just hatched another chick at — wait for it — age 70! Age 70.<\/p>\n

Now, Rush loved cool facts, and this story from the Good News Network (which you\u2019ll be able to find over at the website) is chock-full of them. For example, almost as amazing as being a parent at 70 is the number of miles Wisdom has flown. By the time she was 60, she had logged at least two to three million miles since she was first banded in 1956.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s four to six trips from the Earth to the Moon and back. That\u2019s with plenty of miles to spare. One reason for all those frequent flier miles is every Laysan albatross spends their first three to five years fledgling at sea, never touching the land. That\u2019s pretty cool stuff. Now, longtime Rush listeners know that Rush\u2019s favorite bird was the pelican. So, we thought this was the perfect opportunity to revisit some of Rush\u2019s thoughts on this great bird.<\/p>\n

RUSH: One of my favorite, all-time favorite birds is the pelican. I\u2019m fascinated by the things. And a pelican\u2019s my favorite bird next to the eagle. I have this fantasy that one day, a pelican\u2019s gonna land in front of me and I\u2019ll be able to pet it. It will never happen, but I still have the fantasy.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a drone photo, my favorite bird\u2019s the pelican, and this picture is of a pelican. The pelican\u2019s flying just below the drone and the pelican is in the picture. Now, I mentioned that pelicans, and it\u2019s one of my all-time favorite birds. Even though I live on a beach, you can\u2019t get too close to these things unless they\u2019re in captivity, then they charge you wanting to be fed.<\/p>\n
