Mary P.

My name is Mary Piroris. I am sixteen years old and I come from Jua Kali, a place of loving and wonderful people. The animal that I am observing is the dove. The reason why I chose the dove is simply because it is the animal that exists nearby and is available in our area. I have also chosen to study these birds because doves are considered holy and clean birds. This is because it is the one that appeared as a holy spirit when Jesus was baptized. They always build their nests on top of tall trees so that they can protect themselves from any danger. They build their nests with leaves and grass. The interesting thing about the dove is that when it feeds it finds somewhere near people and then sings its sweet melody. The surprising thing about the dove is that they are often destructive to the farms of people.

My favorite activity outside of class is playing football. My favorite food is chapati and green vegetables.
