Kites are popular toys on windy days. We can make a kite of paper, plastic or cloth. We need to stretch it across a light frame. Kites fly high in the air at the ends of long strings. Kites come in many sizes and shapes. For example, some kites have a very simple shape, but others can be in the shape of animals. It is better to fly a kite when there are two people. One person holds the kite facing the wind. The other person holds the kite's string. Many children and even adults fly kites for fun. There are even kite clubs and special events.

Parrots are popular pets. This is because they are very bright and look beautiful. Parrots are also very clever. Some parrots are as clever as a four-year-old child. Parrots come in different sizes and colours. Wild parrots cannot copy human speech, but pet parrots can talk. If you have a pet parrot, it must live in a cage and you must let it fly every day. It is not a good idea to get only one bird. Parrots may get ill if they feel lonely because they are social birds. A pet parrot will certainly give you a lot of positive emotions.
