Bert

Male

I am Bert, a spirited and confident Congo Grey Parrot. I came to the shelter from a holding facility and now hope for a wonderful new home with suitable companionship. I am self-assured and quite aggressive at feeding stations (I like to peck at hands if you're not paying attention). My 5-fold virus test is negative. I am looking for a home with plenty of space (outdoor aviary with heated shelter) and a suitable partner of similar age or a group. Would you like to meet me? Please contact my caregivers directly at or fill out the application form below.

Ich bin Bert ein temperamentvoller, selbstbewusster Kongo-Graupapagei. Ins Tierheim kam ich aus einer Verwahrung und hoffe jetzt auf ein tolles neues Zuhause mit passender Gesellschaft. Ich bin selbstsicher und an Futterschalen recht offensiv (da hacke ich dann gern mal in die Hand, wenn man nicht aufpasst). Mein 5-fach-Virentest ist negativ. Ich wünsche mir ein Zuhause mit viel Platz (Außenvoliere mit beheiztem Schutzraum) und einer passenden Partnerin ähnlichen Alters oder einer Gruppe. Möchtest du mich kennenlernen? Dann wende dich gern direkt an meine Tierpfleger:innen unter oder fülle das untenstehende Anfrageformular aus.

About Bert

What life with Bert looks like

Bert is an adult bird waiting at Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg in Berlin.

Birds are long-lived, social, and noisy. The species and individual history matter enormously — ex-companion parrots can carry strong attachments and trauma. Ask the shelter about their daily routine, diet, and whether they'd do best alone or with a flockmate.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

Paperwork, vet checks and transport rules differ by species and by country. Ask the shelter what is included and what you will need to arrange before you commit.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bert, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bert?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bert on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bert if I live in another country?: Sometimes. Whether a bird can move between countries depends on the species and the rules in both countries, and some species need permits or have restrictions. Ask Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg what paperwork and transport they require, and check the import rules of your country before you commit.
Is Bert already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: What a bird comes with (vet checks, vaccinations, identification, paperwork) varies by shelter and species. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg directly what is included and what Bert still needs.
What happens if Bert isn't the right fit?: Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bert and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?: TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
