Some of the Ospreys in Scotland are more than 25 years old. I know this because when they are chicks small numbered rings are fitted on their legs, And people keep a watch on them and when they die they check up the number on a computer and see how long they lived.
However, although some Ospreys live to a ripe old age, not all of them do. In fact, most of the young die before they reach 3 years.
O.o
