About this word search
The Budgie on this list is a true local. Wild budgerigars fly in big green and yellow flocks across inland Australia, and the blue and white birds sold as pets were bred from them. Most of the other animals here came from overseas, along with the gear for looking after them: a Hutch for the rabbit, a Lead for the dog and a Bowl for nearly everyone.
Words cross the grid horizontally, vertically and diagonally, never in reverse. Guinea pig is written as one run of letters without a gap, which catches some readers out. Short words like Rat and Vet hide easily inside longer rows, so leave them until last.
It works well before a class pet comes to stay, or as a way into a talk at home about who feeds the fish.
