De ProostParkietjes

Unknown · Adult · 4 years

This group of 18 grass parakeets is our Proost group, as they are all named after spirits. The birds were given up after their owner could no longer care for them due to illness. This was very hard for him, as the birds meant a lot to him. They were allowed to fly around the house all day and had a lot of fun. It is therefore very important for these birds to have the opportunity to fly around in their new home, either in a house or aviary. Of course, with other birds of the same species. The group of 18 does not have to stay together, except for the two real couples (which we will not separate), but the rest can also be rehomed separately as long as there are other birds of the same species present. The exact ages of the birds are not known, but they are all (young) adults. The group consists of: – Disaronno (green/yellow, male) and Amaretto (yellow with some green spots, female) (couple) – Limoncello (yellow, female) and Fragoli (blue/yellow, male) (couple) – Apfelkorn (yellow/light green, male) – Cointreau (green/yellow, male) – Blue Curaçao (blue/yellow, male) – Sloe Gin (blue/yellow, male) – Pisang Ambon (green/yellow, male) – Sake (green/yellow, male) – Amarula (yellow with green spots, female) – Baileys (green/yellow, female) – Tia Maria (yellow with green tail, female) – Dom Benedictine (green/blue/yellow, male) – Malibu (sea green/yellow, female) – Flor de Cana (sea green/yellow, female) – Ouzo (sea green/yellow, female)

Deze groep van 11 grasparkieten is onze Proostgroep, ze zijn namelijk allemaal vernoemd naar sterke drank. De vogeltjes zijn afgestaan nadat hun eigenaar vanwege ziekte niet meer voor ze kon zorgen. Dat ging hem behoorlijk aan het hart, want de vogeltje betekende heel veel voor hem. Ze mochten hele dagen los vliegen en hadden de grootste lol in huis. Het is dan ook heel belangrijk voor deze vogeltjes om in hun nieuwe huis weer de mogelijkheid te hebben om rond te vliegen los in huis of in een volière. Uiteraard met soortgenoten. De groep van 11 hoeft niet bij elkaar te blijven, ze mogen ook los herplaatst worden als er maar soortgenoten aanwezig zijn. De precieze leeftijden van de vogeltjes zijn niet bekend, maar wel zijn ze allemaal (jong)volwassen. De groep bestaat uit: Triple Sec (blauw/geel, man) Cointreau (groen/geel, man) Sloe Gin (blauw/geel, man) Pisang Ambon (groen/geel, man) Sake (groen/geel, man) Amarula (geel met groene vlekken, pop) Baileys (groen/geel, pop) Tia Maria (geel met groen staart, pop) Dom Benedictine (groen/blauw/geel, man) Malibu (zeegroen/geel, pop) Ouzo (zeegroen/geel, pop)

About De ProostParkietjes

What life with De ProostParkietjes looks like

De ProostParkietjes is a adult bird waiting at Dierentehuis Stevenshage Leiden in Leiden.

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 Netherlands

Dutch shelters typically require a household assessment and an adoption contract. Animals are routinely sterilized, microchipped, and registered in the national pet database (NDG) before placement.

Frequently asked

Adopting De ProostParkietjes, answered.

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