My pet’s name is Pedro. He is a parrot. Pedro has red, blue and yellow feathers and small, black eyes. He has a large beak and a very long tail.
When I say hello to Pedro, he always tries to say hello back. He is quite noisy sometimes, especially when he is inside his cage.
Pedro likes to eat seeds and nuts. He eats a lot and can be very messy. I have to feed Pedro every day and clean his cage. I always give him fresh water and sometimes a few grapes as a treat.
I like watching him play with his toys. It is fun to talk to him too. His favourite words are “hello” and “lunchtime”. I think he is very funny. You can never be sad round Pedro.
