Birds and Their Characteristics
Listen carefully to the following passage:
Today, we are going to learn about different types of birds. Birds are fascinating creatures that can be found in many environments. Some birds, like sparrows, are small and often seen in cities. Other birds, like eagles, are much larger and can be found in mountains. Each type of bird has unique features. For example, parrots are known for their colorful feathers and ability to mimic sounds. Meanwhile, penguins are famous for their ability to swim but cannot fly. Understanding these differences helps us appreciate the variety of life in our world.
