It’s been quite some time since I’ve featured a feathered adoptable on these here pages. Meet Rosie, a Rosella Parrot. Rosie lost her man and is need of a home.

Medium * Adult * Female * Bird

Rosie is a former breeding hen who lost her mate. Her age is unknown, but she seems to be in excellent health. Although she is probably not tame, she is quiet and should be able to get along with other birds in an aviary. She is on Zupreem pellets.

Our birds are not available for breeding. Potential adopters must call for an appointment, and must pass a screening interview to ensure that our birds are going to a safe home. Adoption fee $50.

Such a sad story, and just before Valentine’s Day. Perhaps you can help poor Rosie out? If so, get in touch with her foster guardians at Burge Bird Rescue ASAP!

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 abused, neglected and/or homeless non-human animals in the Kansas City (and surrounding) area.

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

- To encourage members to adopt a furry, feathered or scaled 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”.
