Smuggled Parrot Eggs Discovered at Airport Thanks to Chirping Sounds

A smuggler was caught at Miami International Airport with 29 parrot eggs in a temperature-controlled cooler. Eight of the eggs had already hatched or were in the process of hatching. The surviving 24 parrots, which are critically endangered, were taken in by the Rare Species Conservatory Foundation. The foundation is now faced with the challenge of finding a permanent home for the birds, which can live 60 to 70 years or longer.
