I have a pet. It’s a bird and
its name is Vovo.
Vovo is funny and nice. It
has colorful feathers and
beautiful voice. I love it
very much. Every morning I
clean Vort’s cage. Then, I
feed it some bananas, or
sometimes I give it some
caterpillars. Actually, I am
afraid of caterpillars, but I
try to do that for my lovely
bird. Vovo itself likes
caterpillars very much.
Cendrawasih ( birds-of-paradise ) are
members of the
family Paradisaeidae of the order
Passeriformes. The majority of
species are found in eastern
Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and
eastern Australia. The family has 42
species in 14 genera. The members of
this family are perhaps best known for
the plumage of the males of the
sexually dimorphic species (the
majority), in particular the highly
elongated and elaborate feathers
extending from the beak, wings, tail or
head. For the most part they are
confined to dense rainforest habitat.
The diet of all species is dominated by
fruit and to a lesser extent arthropods.
The birds-of-paradise have a variety of
breeding systems, ranging from
monogamy to lek-type polygamy.
I have a pet. It is a dog and I call it
Brownie.
Brownie is a Chinese breed. It is
small, fluffy and cute. It has got
thick brown fur. When I cuddle it,
the fur feels soft. Brownie does not
like bones. Every day it eats soft
food like steamed rice, fish or
bread. Every morning I give her milk
and bread. When I am at school,
Brownie plays with my cat. They get
along well, and never fight maybe
because Brownie does not bark a
lot. It treats the other animals in our
house gently, and it never eats
shoes. Brownie is really a sweet
and friendly animal.
Spot is a regular house cat. He
is an adorable cat.
He has orange fur with white and
black spots. I like to cuddle him
because his fur feels soft. Every
morning I give Spot milk. Spot
does not like rice, so I give him
cat food. Spot is an active
animal. He likes to run around
the house. He likes to chase
everyone in my house.
When he feels tired or sleepy,
Spot usually sleeps on the sofa
in the living room or sometimes
under the table.

Can you guess, what is it?
Bonny
Among pets, I like the best dog because they are tame animals
and they can be trained as a man friend. I have a wonderful dog.
I named him Bonny.

Bonny is a male dog. He is a Pomeranian dog and is about two

years old. My dog is great. He has grayish- white fur, small ears,
and a cone-shaped mouth. His paws are strong.

Well, my dear Bonny is a clever dog. He always barks loudly and

noisily when there is a stranger coming to my house. You know
what? He also can do many things such as sitting down quietly,
bringing the newspaper to me, standing on his two hind feet, and
shaking my hand.

I always take him to a grooming salon twice in a month to have

him bathed and to trim his fur neatly. Bonny eats dog’s food;
fresh meal and drink fresh milk. I don’t let him eat bones
because they are not good for him.
