Mother Hen Has Something To Say:
The concept of a crane living for a thousand years is something that was written in the Huainanzi, and the ancients believed that “cranes and tortoises have extended lifespans”, which is why they believed that saintly herons were able to live for a thousands years.
There’s no way an arctic gyr can live for hundreds of years
According to modern-day science, the longest lived birds can only live for sixty or seventy years, and though falcons do shed their beaks, thus prolonging their lifespans, the actual addition, and how many times they can do so are unclear. A lot of this should be taken as a fabrication, don’t take it as scientific fact
