Peepers's Story

Meet Peepers, a Bare eyed Cockatoo who somehow has been waiting for a home far longer than makes any sense. <br/><br/>Peepers is an absolute delight. She is sweet, goofy, social, and loves interacting with just about everyone she meets. If there is music playing, especially something fun and upbeat, you can expect head bopping, dancing, and pure cockatoo enthusiasm. When she gets excited, she goes all in and makes sure the whole room knows it.<br/><br/>She has an excellent appetite and is not picky at all. Peepers happily eats her Harrison's pellets, loves veggies, and seems thrilled with just about anything that ends up in her bowl. She prefers cardboard style toys over hardwood and is perfectly content shredding and exploring softer enrichment options.<br/><br/>Peepers enjoys being near her people and thrives when she can be part of the household activity. She communicates clearly and lets you know when she has had enough interaction, making her a great match for someone who understands and respects bird body language. She is affectionate and engaging without being demanding, and her enthusiasm is balanced by clear boundaries.<br/><br/>Peepers has tested positive for Avian Bornavirus. At this time, her condition is well managed and does not require medication, but maintaining a relationship with an avian veterinarian is essential for her long term care. This diagnosis should not deter the right adopter, but it does require awareness and responsibility.<br/><br/>As a cockatoo, Peepers does have a strong voice and will not be a good fit for apartment living or homes with shared walls. For a home that enjoys personality, music, laughter, and an expressive companion, Peepers is truly a hidden gem. We honestly do not understand how she is still waiting, but we are hopeful her people are out there and ready to fall in love.<br/><br/>Adoption Fee: $340

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.
