The Puerto Rican parrots went extinct because their habitat was shrinking, and birds still their nests. scientists saved the parrots because they didn't want an iconic bird to die out. The text states that " In 1968, the government of the united states and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rican worked together to create the Puerto Rican Parrot Recovery Program. Its goal was to save and protect the Parrots This shows that the scientists were trying to save the parrots. The text states "In the 1950s,birds called Pearly-eyed Thrashers moved into the rain forest and tried to steal the parrots nesting holes." This shows that the birds were becoming extinct because birds were moving into their habitats. In conclusion the parrots almost died out because other birds tried to steal their habitat, and the scientists saved the parrots because they didn't want an iconic bird to die out

Well, what caused the Puerto Rican parrots to become endangered was a combination of the hurricanes, people capturing them and using their trees for resources, and pearly-eyed thrashers trying to steal the parrots nesting holes, and is was important for the scientists to save them because they were part of the reason they became endangered and also they are rare birds. I know this because the text stated, "In the 1950s, birds called pearly-eyed thrashers moved into the rain forest and tried to steal the parrots’ nesting holes. Like clever thieves, these birds enter places where other birds are struggling to live and compete with them for nest sites. The parrots fought the thrashers, jabbing at them with their sharp beaks and defending their nests with harsh cries. But the parrots now had too many enemies and too few trees. The flock became smaller and smaller. By 1954, there were only two hundred parrots left," and also, "After Puerto Ricans gained American citizenship, many of them moved to the United States. Those who stayed in rural parts on the island built houses and farms in the areas where parrots had once lived. Many of the parrots’ tall, old trees were made into charcoal to use for cooking fires. And people still hunted and trapped the parrots," and lastly, "Hurricane Hugo roared through the treetops of Puerto Rico in 1989. Iguaca! Iguaca! the parrots called as the winds blew down many of their tall trees. The hurricane wiped out crops and wrecked buildings and homes. In the aviary, the scientists worried about all the parrots. What if another bad hurricane blew down more trees? What if the aviary was damaged?" That shows that the how the Puerto Rican parrots to became endangered was a combination of the hurricanes, people capturing them and using their trees for resources, and pearly-eyed thrashers trying to steal the parrots nesting holes, and it was important for the scientists to save them because they were part of the reason they became endangered and also they are rare birds. So therefore, how the Puerto Rican parrots to became endangered was a combination of the hurricanes, people capturing them and using their trees for resources, and pearly-eyed thrashers trying to steal the parrots nesting holes, and it was important for the scientists to save them because they were part of the reason they became endangered and also they are rare birds.

1. People cutting down the forest where the parrots made their nest caused the Puerto Rican parrots to become endangered.

In the text, "Iguaca! Iguaca! the parrots called as the forests where they made their nests were cut down." This shows that the forest was being cut down, so, as a result, the parrots had nowhere to live, and to raise their chicks. If they couldn't reproduce, or live anywhere, they would go extinct, and be forgotten forever.

2. It was important for the scientists to save them because the parrots were a part of their culture, and people had almost made them go extinct. So, they wanted to save their culture, and all the Puerto Rican people owed the parrots. They had almost destroyed their population, now, it was time to pay them back.

The main cause of the parrots endangerment was hurricanes. When there was a hurricane they had to move homes. Some parrots got hurt and didn't make it. So each time there was a hurricane the population went down. Soon the population was lower than it should be. The scientists of Puerto Rico needed to help bring them back. That is why they made the Rio Abajo and Luquillo Aviary's. They hatched many parrots and released them and they set up nesting boxes for the parrots still in the wild. In 2006 they wanted to make a second flock that helped the population go up even more. Today more than 690 parrots are living peacefully in Puerto Rico all because scientists had faith in them.

The problems that the scientists have at the Rio Abajo Aviary is that the hurricane was even bigger that even more trees kept coming down and they were worried that since all the trees with the parrot nests in them were falling that more parrots would keep getting hurt. "In the Aviary, the scientists worried about all the parrots. What if another bad hurricane blew down more trees." They fixed this problem by moving all the parrots to a new aviary to keep the parrots safe. According to the text "Groups of parrots squawked as scientists moved them from Luquillo aviary to the new aviary." This shows that the problem was that they thought more parrots would get hurt if they didn't move them to a new aviary.

1. The problem that the scientists have at the Rio Abajo Aviary is that the parrots that they trained to stay away from eagles were caught by them. They solved this problem by giving the next set of birds that was going to leave more, efficient, better training.

In the text, "The captive-bred parrots had been trained to find food and avoid hawks, but many were caught by hawks anyway." This shows that even though they had been trained, they still didn't avoid the hawks. The scientists wanted to fix this, so they put in more effort than they had before.

According to the author, "In time, the parrots learned to stay still or hide if a hawk was nearby. When these parrots were released, more of them survived." This shows that they solved the problem by giving them extra training, to give them a better shot at surviving.

2. Another problem that the scientists have at Rio Abajo Aviary is that sometimes there were thunderstorms, and those caused the Aviary to lose power often. They solved this by finding generators that kept the power flowing, no matter what.

In the text, "Thunderstorms sometimes caused the incubators to lose power." This shows that thunderstorms were a huge problem. The scientists needed power to keep the parrot eggs warm. If the parrots eggs weren't warm, the chick inside of the egg wouldn't make it.

According to the passage, "The scientists found generators that kept the power flowing to the incubators." This shows that they searched far, and wide, and they found generators that wouldn't let them down.

3. Overall, the Aviary had some problems, but they found an efficient way to fix them each time. They always knew what to do, and they wanted the best for the parrots. They wanted them to live a good, and long life.

It would be tricky to find a new home. When the parrots yell "Iguaca Iguaca" it meant that something bad would happen. So that would be hard for people to come because they probably wouldn't want their houses ruined over and over again.

The impact that the hurricanes had on the Parrots was that the hurricanes would knock down the settlers buildings. This is bad because after one of the buildings they would build them back up using the trees that the parrots used as their homes. I know this because in the text it says "Each time the hurricanes destroyed their homes and schools, the settlers rebuilt them." It doesn't say directly that they used the trees but we can infer that they had use the tree because it was their only wood source.

Hurricanes affected Puerto Rican parrots because the hurricane was affecting their nests because the trees were falling down. According to the text, "What if another bad hurricane blew down more trees? What if the aviary was damaged?" This shows that if there was another bad hurricane what could happen to their homes next. In summary this shows that because of all the trees falling during the hurricane it could affect the parrots.

What caused the Puerto Rican Parrots to become so endangered was that there was a lot of destruction from hurricanes and other storms there and the problem was that these storms would happen a lot more than where we live. This meant that they would easily run out of food and get injured or possibly die. It was important for them to save the parrots for a lot of reasons. First of all, it was a part of their culture which was very important. Also, they helped keep the forest healthy. They were also a big role in the ecosystem. That is why saving the parrots was so important.
