My story

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

Spanky is a spunky 30-year-old Amazon who loves to chatter and sit on shoulders. When she wants someone to pick her up, she says, "Step up! Step up!" Her original owner thought she was a boy, so she says "Good boy!" but her previous owner says she laid eggs, so she is believed to be a female. She has quite a vocabulary, including, "I'm gonna get your toes!" "Pretty bird!" "Spank-eeee!" "What are you doing?" and "What are you doing over there?" She also laughs and wolf-whistles. Spanky is quite a hoot and is sure to entertain you! In her current foster home, she has accepted the male but has previously bonded with females, so it's possible she would get along with any gender. Meeting her is the only way to know for sure! Because of her noise level, she would not be suitable for apartment living or a situation with shared walls. Adoption fee: $400.

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.
