8. _______________ As the largest flying parrot species in the world, hyacinth macaws have
been hunted for food and pursued for the caged bird trade and for their beautiful feathers to
be used in head-dresses. Dwindling numbers are also caused by habitat loss due to grass
fires, deforestation, and urban redevelopment. At the Jurong Bird Park, which is part of
Wildlife Reserves Singapore, they are bred to ensure the existence and survival of this
endangered species from South America. The successful breeding program culminated in
two hatchlings in February 2010.
(A) Generally speaking, Asian people work harder on wildlife preservation and breeding
than most South Americans do.
(B) Although facing an uncertain future in their native South American habitats, hyacinth
macaws are given a new life in Singapore.
(C) Listed as one of the endangered species, hyacinth macaws deserve more humane
concern and protection in Asia than elsewhere.
(D) Naturally affectionate, intelligent, and playful, hyacinth macaws symbolize ecological
balance to the people in Singapore.
