News Words: Harmony

Welcome to the Voice of America’s News Words.
The town of Hilario Ascasubi in Argentina has been invaded by parrots.
HARMONY
They are noisy, dirty and they damage electrical lines, causing power outages. Experts say deforestation has forced the birds from their homes. One biologist said their natural environment needs to be restored for people and parrots to live in harmony.
In this example, harmony is a state of peaceful and friendly agreement.
In music, harmony is a pleasing combination of different notes played together.
