The cockatiel is the most friendly and the most beautiful pet. A cockatiel can hiss just like a cat! Like many birds you see outside, cockatiels can eat toast crumbs and cooked rice. Cockatiels have orange patches under their eyes, and little do you know that under those patches are actually their ears! Cockatiels have feathers on their head that can represent their feelings. For example, when a cockatiel are raised really high and the cockatiel’s body is really skinny, it means that they are scared. If a cockatiel is angry enough, they might bite or hiss at you in defense. Only male cockatiels can sing more than one song. Female cockatiels can only adapt to one song and sign it over and over again. The older they grow the more colorful males head’s get, the female’s head color gets darker as they grow. The bigger cockatiels start to look similar to cockatoo’s, another bird possessing the similar traits of a cockatiel. Not only that but, the cockatiel is part of the bird family. Cockatiels are wonderful and interesting birds and would make great pets!
Cats are the Best Pet
I like cats. We have a cat, and I think our cat is a good pet.
Cats have fur. When we touch cats, they feel soft and relaxing. Cats are good company. They are easy to take care of. We do not need to walk cats every day.
I think cats are the best pet.
Today, I’m going to teach you about raccoons. They can be sneaky, smart, and very cool animals.
Raccoons are nocturnal. They have to be sneaky, so they wont get caught when predators are around. They are smart because raccoons are able to remember solutions to tasks for at least three years. They can stand on their back legs. That’s pretty cool because it looks like that they are dancing.
In conclusion, I think they are very smart, but I don’t think raccoons are good pets because they can eat all your food!
Sperm whales are amazing animals, they should be allowed in some zoos.
Some sea creatures are blue blooded but the sperm whales is red blooded. Sperm whales are huge, their head only is 20 feet long! Unlike fish sperm whales are mammals. A sperm whale is very smart it has a brain the size of your house! (unless of course you live in a apartment.) You might think it’s eyes will be big, but no a sperm whale’s eyes is only 2 inches big. They don’t have upper teeth! Their bottom teeth fit in the holes at the top! Oh and did I mention they have 40-50 teeth in all? They can go up to 25 miles per hour. (the sperm whale that is not the teeth that would be weird if it was the teeth.) they can also dive half a mile in a few seconds! they find there food with sound!
Sperm whales are the coolest animal ever.
Raccoons are interesting to learn about. You can learn more about raccoons when you read the facts.
Raccoons have unique eyes. They are tiny and black. I think they are cute. They are nocturnal, which means they can see in the dark just like us! Their eyes help them find food and trash cans at night. When they find it, they dig in it making a mess. That’s why people don’t like them near their homes. Raccoons can communicate with sound. Raccoons live in many places in North America. They can be seen everywhere. Little did people know they have sensitive paws which only get more sensitive if they put them in water. Car crashes can kill many raccoons. Not much animals attack them but cougars, bobcats, coyotes, and people attacked them that’s why it is very dangerous in there and environment.
Raccoons are cool animals. They may not be a pet but they are interesting to learn about.
