Diona

Female

Diona is a colorful female budgie who immediately captivates with her lively and lovable nature. She is active, alert and always busy exploring her surroundings. With great skill and amazing agility, she explores her environment and observes everything attentively and vigilantly. Diona shows herself to be clever and adaptable, so that after a certain period of adjustment, she can easily adjust to new situations. With her cheerful songs, Diona brings life and good mood into everyday life. She is a sociable and loyal companion who values the company of her fellow birds and feels particularly comfortable in familiar surroundings. Her cute nature and small dose of cheekiness give her a very special charm. At the same time, Diona is rather reserved and can initially react with some uncertainty or timidity in unfamiliar situations. However, with patience and understanding, you will gradually gain her trust. Once she has gained security, she shows herself to be a loving and lively little personality who always brings joyful moments with her stubbornness and lively nature.

Mit viel Geschick und erstaunlicher Flinkheit erkundet sie ihre Umgebung und beobachtet alles aufmerksam und wachsam.

Sie ist eine gesellige und loyale Gefährtin, die die Gesellschaft ihrer Artgenossen schätzt und sich in vertrauter Umgebung besonders wohlfühlt. Ihr niedliches Wesen und ihre kleine Portion Frechheit verleihen ihr einen ganz besonderen Charme. Gleichzeitig ist Diona eher zurückhaltend und kann in unbekannten Situationen zunächst etwas unsicher oder schreckhaft reagieren. Mit Geduld und Verständnis gewinnt man jedoch nach und nach ihr Vertrauen. Hat sie erst einmal Sicherheit gefasst, zeigt sie sich als liebevolle und lebendige kleine Persönlichkeit, die mit ihrer Hartnäckigkeit und ihrem munteren Wesen immer wieder für schöne Momente sorgt.

About Diona

What life with Diona looks like

Diona is a 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 Diona, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Diona?
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 Diona on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Diona 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 Diona 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 Diona 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 Diona 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.
