I love chickens. I have seven, and they are so cute.

Hummingbird

Hummingbirds are birds from the Americas that constitute the family Trochilidae. They are among the smallest birds, with most species measuring between 7.5 and 13 cm in length. Known for their rapid wingbeats and ability to hover, they play a crucial role in pollination across many ecosystems.

Why is the penguin first? They aren't that cute. I'd rather see a penguin chick than an adult penguin. These tiny birds are the cutest! They are also one of the smallest birds ever.

My patronus. I love it.

I know they're already in first, but I want to keep them up. I love penguins. I'm so glad this website actually has them in a high place! Penguins deserve this high ranking.
Have you ever thought of how hard it is for animals? We're spoiled. All animals get hunted and have to hunt for their own food. We just buy it at a grocery store. Sure, we have jobs, but our jobs help us get money to stay alive. Their job is to not be hunted so they can stay alive and feed their family.
Even though this isn't on the topic, dogs are spoiled. They just get fed by the people who take care of them. So if any of you voted for dog on anything else, think about this rant and see if you change your vote.
If you read this, then I would like to say thank you because you didn't get bored and read this whole thing. Even though this looks like it is long to read, it was even longer to type.
