Parrots sit in cages waiting to be transported to the mainland
(Picture: AP)Hundreds of exotic birds including some of the world’s rarest parrots have been rescued from a Florida wildlife sanctuary after its owners refused to evacuate without them in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian.
The mission, dubbed Operation Noah’s Ark, transported two lemurs and 275 exotic birds to West Palm Beach from Pine Island, where they will be housed until a collapsed bridge can be repaired and normal life restored to the island.
