Animals When we’re in India or Pakistan, animals just roam around, like they own the place. Every morning, I go outside to see the strutting peacocks and cheeky monkeys to feed them breakfast. The monkeys gobble up bananas. The peacocks peck at carrots, seeds – and lentils as well! I really love the cute baby chicks scurrying around too. So chirpy and colourful! Bright little fluffy balls. Blue ones, pink ones, orange, yellow and green ones – a rainbow of colours. I used to think baby chicks were born like that. Then I found out that as soon as they hatch from their eggs, people paint them. I haven’t found out why. I hope those tiny chicks don’t mind being a different colour to the one they’re born with. Or being painted like that doesn’t hurt their soft skin or tiny feathers. 15
