At the Animal Humane Society in Golden Valley, a chicken and duck dropped off last Friday have become inseparable companions.
"As far as bonded pairs go around here, this was unique," said wildlife technician Laura Nelson Schneck. "We put them in separate cages after their exams, and they couldn't see each other. They both started vocalizing loudly and pacing frantically up and down their cages, clearly distressed. When we brought them together, they calmed right down."
While the birds are too young to determine gender for sure, Schenk thinks they are both females, and they were dubbed "Thelma and Louise." The duck may be a white Peking and the chicken a Rhode Island red, she said.
