hi I'm Haley and this

0:36

is UNA

0:37

she is my pet

0:40

a pet is an animal that lives in your

0:44

house with you

0:46

una is a dog which is the most popular

0:49

kind of pet here in the U.S

0:53

there are other animals that people keep

0:55

as pets so let's learn about them

1:00

dog

1:01

like I said dogs are the most popular

1:04

pet in the U.S they come in all shapes

1:08

and sizes

1:10

some are big and some are small like Una

1:15

they have fur or hair all over their

1:20

bodies and have a very good sense of

1:24

smell

1:26

a baby dog is called a puppy and they

1:30

are very very cute

1:33

in the U.S we think the sound they make

1:37

is like this

1:39

woof woof woof woof woof

1:44

cats like Skye are also very popular

1:48

they have fur too and have long whiskers

1:54

they make a meow sound and they also

1:59

purr

2:01

they like to play with toys

2:04

and they love to nap or sleep for a

2:07

little while during the daytime

2:10

we also call cats kitties and a baby cat

2:15

is called a kitten

2:19

Birds

2:20

sadly I don't have a bird here with me

2:23

to show you but this is a bird

2:27

there are many different kinds of birds

2:30

and not all of them can be pets like

2:34

this one

2:36

probably isn't a good pet

2:39

but this one is

2:42

parakeets parrots and cockatiels are all

2:47

very good pets

2:49

they are very smart and can love people

2:54

they can live in a cage inside the house

2:57

to keep them safe

2:58

so they don't fly away

3:01

they can fly because they don't have fur

3:04

or hair

3:06

all birds have feathers and they use

3:09

their wings to fly

3:13

by the way did you know that lingoni has

3:17

an app now

3:19

it's a great way to work on English

3:21

3:25

3:29

worksheets to practice what you've

3:37

fish

3:39

if you don't have much time to take care

3:42

of an animal but still want a pet

3:46

then maybe a fish is a good idea

3:50

small fish live in fish bowls and large

3:54

fish or many fish like 5 10 or 20 fish

4:00

live in an aquarium

4:04

fish are very easy to take care of and

4:08

don't need very much to keep them happy

4:10

and healthy

4:12

goldfish are the most popular in the U.S

4:17

pretty much everyone I know has had a

4:20

goldfish as a pet before

4:24

rodents

4:26

these little animals are called rodents

4:29

and they make good pets for young

4:32

children in the U.S

4:34

this one is called a hamster and they

4:37

are very small and cute they live in a

4:42

small glass cage and are pretty easy to

4:45

take care of

4:46

we had a hamster that lived in our

4:49

classroom when I was in second grade and

4:52

he was the sweetest little guy

4:56

some people also have pet rabbits

4:59

ferrets or guinea pigs and they are

5:04

similar but a bit bigger than a hamster

5:10

reptiles

5:12

my mom never let me get one but I always

5:16

wanted a pet snake

5:19

some people don't really like snakes and

5:23

some of them wouldn't make very good

5:25

pets since they can be poisonous and

5:28

dangerous

5:30

but other snakes like this one

5:33

are very small and sweet and make great

5:38

pets

5:39

if you don't really like snakes there

5:43

are other reptiles you can have as a pet

5:47

you can also try to have a lizard

5:50

or even a turtle as a pet

5:54

all three of these animals are different

5:57

kinds of reptiles and have scales can

6:03

live in glass tanks called terrariums

6:07

and can live for a very long time if you

6:11

take good care of them

6:13

6:18
