My new Friends.....Kiwi and Sweet Pea

We were able to give a set of parakeets a home this week.  They were given to our family by another homeschool family.  They are about 3-4 years old.  The girls name is Kiwi and the boys name is Sweet Pea.  I have really wanted birds, and dad said I could have these.

We checked out some books from the library, and this is a few things that I learned.

• Parakeets have curved beaks that they can use to crack open seeds.
• Parakeets should fly outside their cage about 1/2 hours each day.
• They see very well.  Their eyes are on the sides of their heads.
• You should always check for open windows before letting your parakeets fly around the house.
• If you keep saying the same word over and over, a parakeet can learn it.
• They like to eat seeds and fruits and veggies.
• Parakeets lose their feathers once a year.
• Parakeets like to play with toys.

The Story Behind the Picture

1.  What is the trailer used for?

There is a satellite dish to keep updated on the news to find their crooks.  It contains barricades and cones.  It has computers and a coffee maker.

2.  Does the unit have proper police supplies?

Yes.  It has computers and survellance cameras.  It also has cones, barricades and a wanted wall so you can watch for criminals.

3.  Is there a place to put the figures that are under arrest?

In the back of the trailer is a small jail cell to put the criminals in.  It has an alarm too.

4.  Does it roll on carpet?

It rolls on the carpet using its tires.  It rolls very well, unless its really thick.

5.  Is it hard to put together?

With the proper eye and following the directions step by step, it's very easy.  You can switch parts around easily too, so that you can upgrade your trailer.
