Have
you ever seen a peacock that spread its beautiful tail feathers? That is the
male peacock! The female peacocks are plain brown and do not have beautiful
tail feathers.
Have
you ever seen mallard ducks with pretty greenheads? These ducks are male ducks.
Why are the male birds more colorful than the females?
Peacocks
and ducks belong to the birds family. When a female bird lays eggs, she has to stay
in the nest and protect her eggs while the male finds. Therefore, the female
has to blend in with the trees and bushes around her, so that bigger animals
could not see her and eat eggs.
Usually
it is the female bird that chooses her mate. The male bird must have pretty
colors to be attractive to the female. Sometimes the male bird must attract the
female by making a fancy nest, or doing dances for her.
For
some types of bird, where the made has to stay in the nest to protect the eggs,
the female has to blend has brighter colors.
For
male and female birds that have to stay together in their nests, both birds
have to blend in with their surroundings. They are often of the same size, too.
Usually birds that have to stay in the nest are smaller than those that have to
attract their mates.

Dear Edgar,
I
am very sorry for this late reply. I have just returned from my hometown. I was
on holiday, but I did not really enjoy my stay there. Things have changed.
When
I was a child, I used to swim and go fishing with my brother and my friends in
the river near my house. I like the river because the water was clear and there
were a lot of fish in it.
Now,
the river is full of garbage and the water is turbid. The fish are gone and the
area around the river is dirty. There are no children swimming and fishing in
the river because the water is ominous. The chemical waste from the factories
makes it poisonous.
The
condition of the river makes me sad. What about your hometown? Do you have the
same problem? That’s all. I have to study for the coming semester exam. Please
reply soon.
Yours,
Zaki.
