Parrots magazine May 2024 edition
On 11th August 2023 a Chinese man was arrested at São Paulo airport with a portable incubator containing 60 eggs. They were nearly all fertile. As the eggs could not be identified as an endangered species, the trafficker was released without charge. IBAMA, the Brazilian environmental agency, had contacted Prof. Luis Fabio Silveira, from the Zoological Museum of the University of São Paulo. With his many contacts in the avicultural world, he arranged for the eggs to be sent to an experienced breeder in São Paulo. It was believed the trafficker thought they were Hyacinth eggs, but they turned out to be Green Wings.
