Birds Fosters Needed

Fosters Needed - Greater St Louis Area Considering becoming a foster today. https://www.staravian.org/foster-application/

What does fostering entail?

• You provide a loving home for a homeless parrot until they find their permanent home. This can be several weeks to several months until they are adopted. While in your care, you will work with the bird to improve their socialization, diet & training.

What are fosters responsible for?

• You are responsible for scheduling and transporting your foster to any necessary vet appointments with one of our partner vets. You are also expected to turn in requested information (photos, bio information, updates…etc. ) in a timely manner (per our foster timeline). You are responsible for supplying some, but not all, of the necessary food, toys & perches.

STAR provides the cage, some of the supplies and all medical costs. How do I sign up?

• To become a foster, first - fill out a foster application. Our team will process your application (which includes a vet check, a landlord check & a home visit.) Applicants must be over 18, live in the St Louis area (MO or Il), have a bird safe home (incl no smoking & teflon free), have no convictions involving domestic abuse/assault or animal cruelty/neglect.

Once approved to foster, before receiving your first foster bird, it is required to attend a new volunteer orientation and foster class (offered monthly in person).
