Some of you would want to talk to a songbird, dolphin, lion, and even some of you would go on predatory birds, like eagles. But to me, I would talk to a smaller predatory bird: the falcon.

Because falcons are so fast, if we wanted to get together to talk, he would be there in no time. this means we could hang out with almost no delays on his route. No traffic lights, traffic jams, car crashes, no anything on the road for a falcon (except for other predatory birds)!

Also, falcons have great eyesight, so we can go out for bird watching. He may not even need binoculars (like I do). Maybe he can spot some fun place for us, me, or him to play and chat!

If we were to become friends, I can go out (or he can come in) any time then! Imagine how much fun we can have with each other! We can go on vacation with each other, into hiking, camping, and even in my own backyard! (or his territory.) Maybe we can go out for flying (if I have something like a jetpack)!

For now, we have no idea about animal language in words, and we only know about some noises and their meanings. Animals also have no idea about our language. But if animals develop a language that we can understand, or if we recognize animal sounds as animal words, maybe we can talk to animals. And for me, I would talk to a falcon.
