DNA tests proved that the greenwing parrot, a rare species worth $2,000, had come from the store and was the child of two parrots belonging to the man who consigned it to Baby Exotic Birds. "The circumstances of the case are the most bizarre I've ever encountered," said Lenny Barshinger, an investigator for Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation.
