Me and my pet

Lesha
Hello, my name is Lesha. I’m writing about my pet, ripply parrot – Kesha. He is seven years old. We bought him when I was in the second form ( now I am in the 8th form ). Kesha is the nicest, the cleverest, the funniest bird in the world. He is very bright parrot: Kesha has green breast, head and back have black and yellow colours, wings are yellow; tail has yellow colour, cheeks are blue, there are four little black blots on the neck. There are two small eyes on the head they are very significant. I like to play with my parrot very much. When I permit Kesha to leave the cage I give him a mirror, because he likes to talk with his reflection very much. Then I take the mirror in my hands, and Kesha fly around it. Kesha likes very much when somebody cards his neck. When I give him my finger, he sits down on perch and gives
me his head. I card him and then he closes his eyes because of pleasure. He can sit so 15 – 20 minutes. One day Kesha droped from his perch when I was carding his neck. Sometimes, when Kesha fly and when he suddenly see his shade he begin to speak with it. My pet can talk very god. He talks few, but very good: “Kesha is a good bird”, “You must go to school”,“Fool”, “Sasha”(this is my sister), “Sasha don’t handle me”, “Lesha”, “Oh, my God”, “Fool is good”, “Kesha is a sun”, “I want to go fishing”, “The bird” and some others. Kesha can penounce many different sounds: shakes, jouful exclamations. Sometimes, when Kesha is siting on his perch, he is speaking and suddenly he cryes out some word very aloud. My pet very graceful, very adroit bird. I like to observe him very much. This makes me a big pleasure. Kesha revives our flat fills it with jouful sounds, chirping and nice jabbering. When Kesha climbes his cage, he uses his legs and beak. My pet runs with small steps very good. Every morning and all day long Kesha washes himself. This is very funny. He cleans his tail, wings and back. He cleans his small, afectionate legs. Kesha likes to eat millet, apples, cabbage and carrot. When I eat apple, I always give it for my pet. When Kesha is feed up , he nibbles small pieces of the apple and began to throw them in all sides. My parrot is a great beggar When Kesha doesn’t like anything, he can bite very painfully. Therefore its better not to make him nervous. Kesha have two tois, they are his fovorite tois. This is a rattle, it hangs in Kesha’s cage. He often sits dawn near this rattle and begin to speak. And another toy is hand – bell. Sometimes, parrot takes it in the beak and begin to ring. Sometimes, when Kesha fly, he suddenly sits dawn on the shoulder, comes up by ear and begin to chirp. This is very pleasant for me. Kesha very mobile birt. He can jump from perch to another perch for very long time. This is very funny. I’ll describe one, funny case. One day on the New Years Eve my mother was sitting and speaking with Kesha. She wanted to instruct parrot to tell the following phrase: “Happy New Year, my friends!” Suddenly she said this words very aloud, Kesha scared and fall down under the table. I took away the chairs, to see what’s happened with my pet. I looked, but Kesha was not there. My mother said me:Here he is! I saw him coming from under another side of the table. He had very scared eyes. Kesha stood and looked at us. As if to say my pet wanted: “what’s the matter?” But everything was OK. Kesha quickly comes to himself. I love my pet very much. This is the nicest being on the Earth. And the funniest. I and my relatives never bore with Kesha.P.S. When I was writteln this letter, Kesha was staying on the table and followed my hand and pen very attentively. By the way, Kesha gives greeting for you.
