Courtney Stodden teamed up with PETA on Tuesday for a dramatic protest aimed at Petco's bird sales. Stodden wore a painted thong and pasties, then stepped into a cage dressed as a colorful bird to spotlight concerns about how birds are handled before they are sold. An artist covered Stodden's body with parrot inspired colors, feather details, and red marks designed to resemble blood. Stodden said the visual was meant to draw attention to PETA's criticism of Petco's treatment of birds, a claim that remains an advocacy group's allegation rather than an established finding in the source material. Courtney Stodden Is Not Done Making Noise This was not Stodden's first headline making animal rights stunt. Months earlier, Stodden covered the body in black paint during a PETA protest against leather, making the latest cage appearance feel less like a one off and more like a full campaign strategy. Stodden also performed a bird call during the appearance, keeping the message theatrical and impossible to miss. The social media star said the work will continue, with future protests focused on whichever animal issue needs attention next.
