41 The scientists were ready to create a second wild flock. In 2006,
twenty-two captive-bred parrots were released in Río Abajo Forest. The
newly released birds formed pairs, found nesting boxes, and raised their
chicks. Dozens of parrots have been released in Río Abajo since then,
and they have begun to spread out through the forest.
42 If you look up from the forest, and you are very lucky, you might catch
the bright blue flashes of flight feathers. These are Puerto Rican parrots.
They lived on this island for millions of years, and then they nearly
vanished from the earth forever. But they are flying over Puerto Rico
still, calling, Iguaca! Iguaca!
