My mother's birds

My classmates enjoyed to talk about their pets after Diego's speech. Someone likes dogs and someone likes cats. I don't like cats so I never have a cat. A year ago, my mother had a couple of cockatooes. My father built a birdcage for them. In the day they could walk everywhere they wanted but at night they had to stay in the birdcage because there were many mosquitos. They could hang on trees but they could not fly. My father also built a small swing for them. My mother said her birds were intelligent. They said "I'm hungry(In Thai)" when they were hungry. They also could say "Hello" when they saw my mother, my father and my grandmother. They danced when my mother turned on the radio. They made my people had fun. My neighbors told me like my mother said but I never see it. She said they were excited when they met me and my sisters so they could not do everything that my mother said. Both of them died last year. My mother, my father and my grandmother were sad. They still keep the birdcage until now because they're missing them.
