Read the following article and answer all the questions.

Crime-Fighting Parrot

A parrot has become famous after scaring off a gang of burglars. Peter the parrot is
the pet of businessman, Andrei Volkov, who lives in London. Andrei explains, ‘I was
asleep when the burglars entered. I’d left the kitchen window open because it was a
warm evening. They managed to climb through without waking me up, but luckily

r
they disturbed Peter the parrot. He screeched so loudly that even the neighbours

pe
heard. One of them was so worried that she called the police. The parrot attacked
the robbers, who ran out of the house. I ran downstairs but they had already gone.

Pa
The parrot had pieces of clothing and blood on his beak. However, it wasn’t his own
blood. He was absolutely fine and looked very proud of himself. The police arrived
two minutes later.’

e
Despite the thieves making off with Andrei’s wallet, which had been left near the

pl
window, Peter the parrot scared them off before they could take anything else. His
owner continued, ‘He’s fantastic. He follows me round the house. He hates being in

m
his cage so I only use it to take him to the vet’s. I’m sure he thinks he’s a guard dog.
He never follows me upstairs to bed at night but finds a quiet place downstairs where
Sa
he can settle down and sleep: under the stairs, in a corner somewhere.’

The Police, who have been looking into the break-in, have already arrested one of the
gang. A policeman said, ‘The neighbour saw three men running away, although it was
ns
dark so she couldn’t give a good description. The blood and clothing which were
found on the parrot’s beak will provide DNA to help us find the other two. It’s even
more useful than having security film of them on camera. We’ll find them all.’

Parts of a dog

The back end of the dog is called the rump. The rump is near the tail and is above
the dog’s back legs.

The brisket is the area of the dog’s chest between the front legs.

r
pe
The front part of the head, including the mouth and nose is called the muzzle.

Pa
The hock is like an ankle on the back leg of the dog. It is on the lower part of the leg
at the back and the bone sticks out slightly.

e
pl
Behind the head and neck of the dog are the withers. This is the top of the shoulder

m
and is the highest point on the dog’s back

Sa
The part of the head between the dog’s eyes is called the stop.
ns

Towards the back of the head is the occiput. This is the highest point of the dog’s
head. There are many nerves in this part of the head, which is why stroking a dog’s
io

head can help to keep it calm.


at

The stifle is like the knee of a dog. It is on the front of the back leg and is about half
in

way between the hock and the rump.
