Skye's Story

Are you a female who is searching for the absolute perfect companion (with maybe a few quirks here and there)? Skye is definitely your bird! At 38 years old, this bird is goofy, loving, and ready to entertain at a moment's notice. Skye was transferred to us from another rescue after his owner was moved to a retirement home, so his full history is not entirely clear. For some birds, not having access to any personality or medical history can pose a challenge...but not for Skye! He is happy to let us know what he likes, loves, and...hates. Repeatedly, Skye has shown a clear preference for women and does not tolerate men, having attacked them in previous settings, so he will need to be adopted into a home with a female caretaker and, preferably, no small children. However, if you are a woman...lucky you! Skye is a darling companion who loves to cuddle with his foster mom, dance, and basically show off to anyone who is watching him (even men, unless they get too close). This affectionate bird has lots of love to give and can't wait to find his forever home! Because of his noise levels, he will need to be adopted into a home without shared walls. Adoption fee: $450

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.
