Update, 6/10/09: Thelma and Louise have been adopted!

Meet Thelma and Louise, a pair of parakeet friends currently staying at the Lawrence Humane Society.

Thelma is the pretty blue and black girl on the right:

Thelma is a gorgeous little lady with the most beautiful song. She is mostly blue with white and black all over and just a hint of yellow on the tips of her wings and her brow. She is looking for a loving home and would love to go home with her friend Louise.

Thelma hasn’t been hand trained yet, but she is looking for a patient owner who will teach her how to enjoy being with people.

Louise, meanwhile, is looking nice and festive this Earth Day, what with her green and yellow feathers:

Louise is a beautiful girl with a lovely song. She is green and yellow with just a bit of black and white all over. She is looking for a new home, preferably with her good friend Thelma. Louise has not yet been hand trained and she’s hoping for an owner who will be patient with her and teach her how to enjoy being with people.

If you’re looking to bring a songbird into your home, why not consider adopting a feathered friend rather than purchasing one from a pet store? There are many winged animal companions in need of homes, too!

Each Wednesday, the Kansas City Freecycle blog will feature one adoptable animal from a local KC rescue group or animal shelter.

We do this for several reasons:

- To highlight the plight of companion animals in the Kansas City area.

- To remind members of our no-animal policy, and provide an alternative venue for members who wish to adopt an unwanted animal.

- To encourage members to adopt a furry friend.

- To help out out local animal rescue groups and animal shelters, many of which are overwhelmed by the sheer number of animals in need.

- To illustrate these animals’ unique personalities and characteristics, thus underscoring the fact that they are not objects and should not be “freecycled”.
