Notes: Cheyenne is blind in her right eye as a result of a mishap or human assault; she was rescued in Anchorage, Alaska. It is estimated that these grand birds can live to past 60 in captivity. In the wild: 30 to 35 years, barring injury. English settlers gave the birds their "bald" name, which derives from the Old English word "piebald," meaning "white-headed" rather than featherless.; Forms part of: Gates Frontiers Fund Colorado Collection within the Carol M.
