Blue

Male · Young · 3 years

Blue is a lively and cheerful budgie who observes his surroundings attentively and quickly wins hearts with his charming nature. Curious and skilled, he explores everything that happens around him, moving nimbly and agilely from perch to perch. As a typical budgie, Blue loves the company of his fellow birds. Together they chirp, sing, play and attentively follow events. Budgies are highly social birds and should not be kept alone. Therefore, Blue is looking for a home with at least one existing budgie or would like to move in with a suitable partner bird. Blue brings a pleasant mix of liveliness and calmness. He can be cheeky and playful, but is also gentle and loving. In new or unfamiliar situations, he initially reacts a bit uncertain and startled. If given the necessary time and met with patience, he gains increasing confidence and shows his cheerful nature. We wish for Blue a loving home with plenty of free flight, varied activities and fellow birds with whom he can share his daily life. For those who want to give a home to a lively, social and lovable little singer, Blue is a wonderful feathered companion.

DE·Show original

Blue ist ein aufgeweckter und fröhlicher Wellensittich, der seine Umgebung aufmerksam beobachtet und mit seiner charmanten Art schnell die Herzen erobert. Neugierig und geschickt erkundet er alles, was um ihn herum passiert, wobei er flink und wendig von Sitzstange zu Sitzstange unterwegs ist. Als typischer Wellensittich liebt Blue die Gesellschaft seiner Artgenossen. Gemeinsam wird gezwitschert, gesungen, gespielt und das Geschehen aufmerksam verfolgt. Wellensittiche sind ausgeprägte Schwarmvögel und dürfen nicht einzeln gehalten werden. Deshalb sucht Blue ein Zuhause mit mindestens einem bereits vorhandenen Wellensittich oder zieht gerne gemeinsam mit einem passenden Partnervogel um. Blue bringt eine angenehme Mischung aus Lebhaftigkeit und Ruhe mit. Er kann frech und verspielt sein, zeigt sich aber ebenso sanft und lieb. In neuen oder ungewohnten Situationen reagiert er anfangs noch etwas unsicher und schreckhaft. Gibt man ihm die nötige Zeit und begegnet ihm mit Geduld, gewinnt er zunehmend an Sicherheit und zeigt sein fröhliches Wesen. Für Blue wünschen wir uns ein liebevolles Zuhause mit viel Freiflug, abwechslungsreicher Beschäftigung und Artgenossen, mit denen er seinen Alltag teilen kann. Wer einem aufgeweckten, sozialen und liebenswerten kleinen Sänger ein Zuhause schenken möchte, findet in Blue einen wunderbaren gefiederten Begleiter.

About Blue

What life with Blue looks like

Blue is a young adult bird waiting at Tierheim beider Basel in Basel.

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 Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.

Frequently asked

Adopting Blue, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Blue?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim beider Basel handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Blue on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Blue if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim beider Basel 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 Blue 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 Blue 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 beider Basel early rather than rehoming privately; they know Blue 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.
