The 24 bright green baby parrots chirp and bob their heads the second anyone nears the large cages that have been their homes since hatching in March
A pair of young red-lored Amazon parrots investigate their environment at the Rare Species Conservatory Foundation in Loxahatchee, Fla., Friday, May 19, 2023, nearly two months after a smuggler was caught, according to a criminal complaint, with 29 parrot eggs at Miami International Airport in late March when the eggs began hatching in his carry-on bag while in transit. The RSCF is raising the 24 surviving red-lored and yellow-naped parrots while looking for a long-term home for the birds.
“They are hand-raised babies,” he said, as the chicks squawked and looked inquisitively at the visitors. “They’ve never seen mom and dad; they’ve been raised by us since they hatched.” He told the officer there were 29 eggs, and that he did not have documentation to transport the birds, according to the complaint.
He helped set up a makeshift incubator in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's aviary at the airport in a mad dash to save the now-hatching parrots. Both birds are popular in the trafficking and caged-bird industries because they are pretty and have a nice temperament, Reillo said.
