Betty

Female

I am Betty, secured for animal welfare reasons, and now hope for a wonderful new life. Unfortunately, I am a bit bald – my chest is featherless. So far, no disease has been identified as the cause. Additionally, I have an old, poorly healed fracture in my leg, and I am likely flight-unfit. I am currently receiving daily pain medication, but I take it well with fresh food. I am very talkative. When it comes to new things or people, I am currently a bit panicky and need some time to warm up. With a little patience, though, that will definitely change. I wish for … a wonderful home with a suitable male companion. My housing must be accessible for those with disabilities – like climbable areas, etc. Our aviary should be at least 3 meters long and offer plenty of wood for chewing and shredding. I look forward to variety and lots of space. Could you give a small handicapped bird like me a home?

Ich bin Betty wurde aus Tierschutzgründen sichergestellt und hoffe jetzt auf ein tolles neues Leben. Leider bin ich etwas kahl – meine Brust ist unbefiedert. Eine Krankheit als Auslöser konnte bisher aber nicht festgestellt werden. Außerdem habe ich eine alte, schlecht geheilte Fraktur im Bein und bin wahrscheinlich flugunfähig. Ich bekomme derzeit täglich Schmerzmittel, nehme es aber über Frischfutter selbst gut ein. Ich bin sehr gesprächig. Bei neuen Dingen oder Menschen bin ich momentan noch recht schnell etwas panisch und brauche ein bisschen Zeit, um aufzutauen. Mit etwas Geduld wird das aber bestimmt. Ich wünsche mir … ein tolles Zuhause mit passender männlicher Gesellschaft. Meine Haltung muss behindertengerecht sein – also über Klettern erreichbare Plätze etc. Unsere Voliere sollte mindestens 3 m lang sein und viel Holz zum Nagen und Schreddern bieten. Ich freue mich über Abwechslung und viel Platz. Schenkst du einem kleinen Handicap-Vogel vielleicht ein Zuhause?

About Betty

What life with Betty looks like

Betty is a 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

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Betty, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Betty?
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 Betty on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Betty if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Betty already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most birds on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Betty 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 Betty 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
