My Favorite Pet

Image
Parrots My favorite  bird is the parrot. It is a colourful bird that is present in many parts of the world. It comes in many shapes, sizes and colours. Parrots are famous for having vivid colours. Some have a single, bright colour while others have a rainbow of different colours. Parrots are usually small and medium in size that mostly eats seeds, nuts and fruits. The lifespan of a parrot depends on its species. Larger ones like cockatoos and macaws live for 80 years while the smaller ones like lovebirds live for around 15 years. In fact, parrots are quite intelligent. They have the ability to imitate human speech which is why many people keep them as pets. Consequently, they are also the most sought-after type of bird for commercial purposes. All over the world, people are taking measures to ensure parrots get nice treatment. Many cultures also consider them sacred. Parrots are highly intelligent and thrive at their best when they are free and not captured in cages.

It being my first train journey, I was filled with curiosity and excitement. I went the window seat and kept looking out most of the time. The sights fascinated me.   The trees, the hills, the fields - everything seemed to be rushing past me, and disappearing equally fast. When another train would pass by, our train seemed to stand still for a while, and would even seem to go backwards! All these things baffled me. It had rained that morning, and water drops were still dripping from the leaves of trees. The fields and the hills were covered in carpets of green. Suddenly we were plunged into darkness.
