The best pet

Which is better - a Macaw parrot or a chinchilla?
Answer: These pets are more interesting than dogs or cats, but are they good for your family?
Macaw parrots are beautiful and friendly, and they dont need to go for a walk every day! BUT they need a big cage - the biggest cage you can buy - and they are expensive. Dont forget, they live longer than dogs or cats.
Chinchillas are more energetic than parrots and they are cheaper. BUT they are not the best pets for young children because they play at night and sleep in the day.
What about a rat? They are not the most beautiful pets in the world but they are the most intelligent. They are also clean, friendly and they like playing with toys!

Teacher: So what is a good family pet?
