Give STL Day
2024-05-09
When people think of an animal rescue, they usually think in terms of dogs and cats. But did you know that birds are some of the most rehomed pets? The need for parrot rescue in our region continues to rise. We are working diligently to meet the increasing demand by strengthening our organization, expanding our reach, and growing our capacity, but we need your help.
STAR – St. Louis Avian Rescue is the only 501c3 parrot rescue in the region. We’ve been serving the greater St. Louis and surrounding communities since 2004, helping to find new homes for companion parrots who often outlive their owners. STAR is top-rated by Great Nonprofits and has Platinum level transparency on GuideStar. We are 100 percent volunteer-run.
We are funded solely by donations and adoption fees, which is why we need contributions to continue our mission to improve and enrich the lives of parrots. Together, we can make a big impact! www.givestlday.org/staravianrescue

We Need YOU! – Give STL Day is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and we need your help to continue our mission of helping parrots in need. Donations allow STAR to provide the highest medical care to the birds in our program, in addition to providing the supplies that fosters need to properly care for our birds. This includes cages, toys, food, and so much more.
