My story

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

Meet Moses the Moluccan, a big bird with an even bigger personality! Although he is estimated to be over 40 years old, you would never know based on his boisterous and energetic disposition. He is working on building trust in his foster home after being in his previous home for roughly 30 years. While slower to trust, the reward is well worth the wait as he is affectionate and playful. He will entertain you for hours! He sings, dances, whistles, and loves nothing more than to scream at the top of his lungs (like any average cockatoo) and tear up his wooden toys. Moluccans have an extremely loud yell (which his foster describes as reminiscent of a mountain lion), so this will need to be a consideration in his future home. No apartments, condos, or any other shared living situations would be suitable for this vocal giant! Because Moses has a history of unpredictable behavior, we are looking for experienced homes only. Knowledge on owning large birds, as well as a solid understanding of cockatoo body language, will be required. Adoption fee: $650

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.
