My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Archie and Reba are a sweet pair of Amazons who are very closely bonded. Don't let their baby faces fool you. These guys are both over 30 years old! A refined and playful pair, these two are well matched and would provide tons of entertainment for their future home. While not super cuddly, these guys have an endearingly shy personality and would do well in either a quiet home or an active household where they can observe their family's various activities. While Reba watches from a safe distance, Archie enjoys exploring his environment and foraging for as many snacks as he can find. Sometimes, when Archie is feeling extra brave, he will crawl outside his cage and call out for his foster mom to bring him treats. Amazons make great birds for those who are searching for companions who can entertain themselves and aren't the stereotypical "Velcro" bird (the word "cockatoo" comes to mind here). Archie and Reba provide a gentle presence to any household and would be more than happy to sit and watch the world go by from the safety of their play areas. Even though Amazons can live up to 60 years, Archie and Reba are still considered "senior" birds and thus their future home will need to have an avian vet in mind before they submit an application. Already, Miss Reba is experiencing some mild health issues with a heart murmur that will just need to be monitored closely for signs of progression. However, both of these guys have made great progress already by switching to a healthy diet and even losing some much-needed weight while in foster care! Adoption fee: $450 for both birds together.

Additional adoption info

Whether interested in adopting a particular bird or not, you will need to fill out an Adoption Application, which can be found on our website. From there, our adoption team will process your application (including background check, veterinarian check for all current animals, and a home visit)
We will not ship any of our adoptable birds, and have a 100-mile adoption radius. 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.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

The FIRST step is to fill out an adoption application on our website at www.staravian.org/adopt. We are not able to arrange a meeting without first filling out an adoption application.
