I need help, I have to put a colon, semicolon, a dash, and parenthesis in this paragraph but I am having trouble. I need help. Since the shelter-in-place and stay-at-home order, we have been taking so many walks and hikes. Urban hiking is one of my favorite things to do. We have been to San Francisco more than once just to walk the hilly streets; it’s beautiful but can be crowded, even during the stay-at-home orders. The last time we went we saw a flock of wild green parrots they were perched on top of the pine trees at a park in Nob Hill. This is a true story at some point someone’s pair of pet green parrots escaped now there is a flock in San Francisco they look out-of-place and spectacular, but you have to know where to find them and also have a little luck. Yesterday, in the park by my home in San Jose neighbors spotted a bald eagle,(that’s unheard of, in all my years living in San Jose almost 30 years I have never seen a bald eagle in the city). I have seen golden eagles on my drive to Gilroy, and I have even seen a condor flying over the Gavilan campus once, but I have never seen a bald eagle. I am not sure what may have brought this magnificent bird into a busy part of the city my best guess is that all the people walking and riding their bikes in the park nowadays have scared off other predators, like coyotes, which are not uncommon in San Jose, and the eagle can more easily catch the snakes and rodents. I am hoping the eagle is there again today when I go out on my walk.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
