I have 16 pets. I have eight birds, seven fish and a dog.

The names of the birds are Ronnoc, Gloria, Cesar, Vanessa, Angel, Bluemer, Skylar and Rosie. The names of the fish are Cutie Pie, Butterfly and Pumpkin Pie, and the rest have no names. My dog’s name is Snowy.

All of the birds are parakeets. The birds fight a lot because there are a lot of them, so all of them need territory. Two of my birds laid eggs. They are Vanessa and Gloria. Vanessa’s offspring is Ronnoc and Gloria has no offspring.

My fish are different species. My fish swim around, and when we put food in the tank they almost jump out of the water.

My dog is a white German shepherd. Snowy loves to play sports like soccer. He is a good goalie and catcher. He likes to run around in the backyard, and he is very fast.
