Cheerio's Story

*ADOPTION PENDING* Meet Cheerio - a sweet and talkative Eclectus looking for her forever home!<br/><br/>Cheerio is one of three birds recently rescued from a mass hoarding situation, and she has amazed us with how quickly her bright personality has begun to shine. She is very friendly, loves to chat, and will even sing along if you sing to her. In fact, her vocabulary seems to grow every day, and she delights in being included in whatever is going on around her.<br/><br/>Although she doesn't step up on hands, Cheerio hops right onto a towel with ease and is happy both inside and outside of her cage. She uses her shower perch confidently and enjoys regular baths every other day to support her skin health and feather growth. While she hasn't shown much interest in toys yet, she does enjoy rubbing her beak on her sand perch and spending quiet time with her people.<br/><br/>Cheerio is social and loves attention but also does well on her own. She isn't bothered by the presence of other birds and could fit into a home with or without them. Because of her specialized diet and her background, she will do best with an adopter who has some prior bird experience and is ready to help her continue blossoming.<br/><br/>This incredible girl may have been called "Ruby" in her past life - she repeats the name often with a cheerful voice. No matter what name she goes by, Cheerio is truly as sweet as her nickname suggests, and she is ready to bring joy, conversation, and love to the right home.<br/>Adoption Fee: $550

STAR - St. Louis Avian Rescue's Adoption Policy
Please note, due to the quantity of emails that we receive, simply "starting an inquiry" will not receive a reply. Please email info@staravian.org if you have a specific question. The first step is to fill out an Adoption Application, which can be found on our website. All birds are in volunteer foster homes, and a meeting may not be set up until you are approved to adopt. Our adoption team will process your application and set up a home visit. All current pets (including any birds cockatiel and larger) must be up to date on yearly wellness exams and any state mandated vaccines. We do not ship birds, and have a 100-mile adoption radius (using St. Louis Lambert Airport as the start point). We do not adopt to breeders. We are not able to adopt birds into homes that use Teflon product or smoke due to toxicity dangers.
