The Epoch Times: Chirping Sounds Lead Airport Officials to Bag Filled With Smuggled Parrot Eggs
Twenty-four baby parrots, seized from a smuggler at Miami International Airport, are being raised by the Rare Species Conservatory Foundation. The parrots, natives of Central America, were snatched from their nests in a forest and had been placed in a sophisticated temperature-controlled cooler, hidden inside a carry-on bag. The baby parrots were incubated and successfully hatched during a "mad dash to save" them, according to Paul Reillo, director of the foundation. The birds had already survived a harrowing journey before being seized by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and now face the challenge of finding a permanent home as they can live up to 70 years or longer.

The Epoch Times: 'Huge Income Shock' Predicted for Households on Fixed-Term Mortgage Deals
British households with fixed-term mortgage deals will feel the impact of higher interest rates when their current deals expire by the end of next year, warns the CEO of Barclay’s, CS Venkatakrishnan. This will lead to a “huge income shock,” as more of households’ earnings will be spent on mortgage payments. According to the Office of National Statistics (ONS), more than 1.4 million households in the UK face higher interest rate increases when they renew their fixed-rate mortgages in 2023. Market Volatility
As homeowners brokering new deals will face increased mortgage rates, they will have to spend more on mortgages, which will affect their overall consumption. Barclays CEO CS Venkatakrishnan says this is in addition to other inflationary factors such as food, energy and essential goods and services. The Bank of England may be pressured to raise interest rates in June as the current High Inflation Rate is at 8.7%, which stands in contrast to the government target of 2%. Britons are economising by reducing spending on non-essentials and substituting premium brands for generic ones. Mortgage rates soared last year due to market volatility and the the current government has pledged to limit these rates. Inflation is still high in the UK despite a drop in April, with consumers still facing rising food prices.
