Upon walking up to the building, they spotted a large dog that seemed friendly at first and it nuzzled them. In a playful manner, the son made a snowball to throw at his father, who ducked and inadvertently the dog got hit. This…

Wild animals are keeping in captivity for different reasons and in different places like zoos, circus and for researches.

Part of the reason many people choose birds as their pets is because of their beautiful colors. Perhaps the most colorful species of birds are Gouldian finches. Another point in appearance, aside from being colorful, is that they are only about 5 inches in size. There are three varieties for this particular species and they're divided according to color.
