Pets:
An animal kept for companionship and enjoyment is called Pet. The
most popular pets are noted for their loyal or playful characteristics,
for their attractive appearance, or for their song. Pets also generally
seem to provide their owners with non-trivial health benefits; keeping
pets has been shown to help relieve stress. Pets have the ability
to stimulate their caregivers, in particular the elderly, giving
people someone to take care of, someone to exercise with, and someone
to help them heal from a physically or psychologically troubled
past. Having a pet may help people achieve health goals, such as
lowered blood pressure, or mental goals, such as decreased stress.
There appears to be strong evidence that having a pet can help a
person lead a longer, healthier life.

State Information
of Colorado:
The State of Colorado is a state located in the Rocky Mountain region
of the United States of America. The climate of Colorado is best
described as being cool and dry compared to the rest of the United
States. While that is generally true throughout most of the state,
the climate of Colorado is very complex. The typical south-north/cooler-warmer
variation in other states is generally not applicable at all in
Colorado. The location of mountain ranges and surrounding valleys
affect local climate greatly. As a general rule, with an increase
in elevation come a decrease in temperature and an increase in precipitation.
Economy of the state: The Bureau of Economic Analysis estimates
that the total state product in 2003 was $187 billion. Per capita
personal income in 2003 was $34,561, putting Colorado eighth in
the nation. To see a 2004 per capita personal income comparison
table on a state basis. The state's economy broadened from its mid-19th
century roots in mining when irrigated agriculture developed, and
by the late 19th century, raising livestock had become important.
Early industry was based on the extraction and processing of minerals
and agricultural products. Current agricultural products are cattle,
wheat, dairy products, corn, and hay.

Information cockatiels: Cockatiels
are among the most popular pet birds. Small parrots with a variety
of color patterns and a crest, they are attractive as well as friendly
and easy to tame. Because of their small size, cockatiel care and
taming is easier than some other parrot species. They are capable
of mimicking speech, although they can be difficult to understand.
However, they are quite good at whistling and can often be taught
to whistle tunes.
- Life span: cockatiels
regularly live 15-20 years with proper care (up to 30 reported).
- Colors: wild type is
grey body with a yellow face and crest and orange cheek patch.
The colors on the face are brighter and more vivid in the male,
and the female has bars on the underside of the tail feathers.
Color variations include albino, lutino, pied, pearl, cinnamon,
and silver. The differences between males and females vary in
the different color variations and can sometimes be hard to
distinguish, especially in young birds.
- Reputation as a gentle
and docile bird; often like to be petted and held.
- Males are thought to
be better at mimicking speech and whistles.
- Pairs of birds make
good company for each other, but usually will not bond as well
with their owners or mimic speech or sounds. A single bird is
fine, as long as you spend a significant amount of time interacting
with the cockatiel on a daily basis.
- Have a powder on their
feathers (used in grooming) that may leave a powdery coating
on cages and accessories.
- Playful and active,
and while they vocalize and whistle they are not as loud as
some other parrots.
