Domestic animals
All animals living near us are called domestic. People keep, feed and take care of them. They live in special premises, such as aviaries, chicken coops, stables or cattle yards.
Domestic animals give us meat, wool and milk. They can share a house with a man in his dwelling. Among such home pets are parrots, cats, dogs, fishes and even snakes. They are caged in or live in terrariums and aquariums.
