Emily und John

Unknown

Emily and John are two active and lively budgerigars who explore the world together. With their cheerful and charming nature, they bring life and good cheer to their surroundings. They are attentive, curious, and observe their environment with great care. Nothing escapes their watchful eyes. The two make a well-coordinated team and provide each other with a sense of security. At the moment, they’re still somewhat timid around people and need time, patience, and a calm environment to build trust. Those who give them this time will get to witness their lovable personalities gradually coming more and more to the fore. We wish Emily and John a loving home where they can settle at their own pace and continue to flourish together. With patience, understanding, and lots of heart, they’ll become wonderful feathered companions.

Emily und John sind zwei aktive und aufgeweckte Nymphensittiche, die gemeinsam die Welt erkunden. Mit ihrer fröhlichen und charmanten Art bringen sie Leben und gute Laune in ihr Umfeld. Sie sind aufmerksam, neugierig und beobachten ihre Umgebung ganz genau. Ihrem wachen Blick entgeht nichts. Die beiden sind ein eingespieltes Team und geben sich gegenseitig Sicherheit. Menschen gegenüber sind sie derzeit noch etwas ängstlich und brauchen Zeit, Geduld und ein ruhiges Umfeld, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Wer ihnen diese Zeit schenkt, wird erleben dürfen, wie ihre liebenswerte Persönlichkeit immer mehr zum Vorschein kommt. Für Emily und John wünschen wir uns ein liebevolles Zuhause, in dem sie in ihrem eigenen Tempo ankommen dürfen und weiterhin gemeinsam entfalten können. Mit Geduld, Verständnis und viel Herz werden sie zu wundervollen gefiederten Begleitern.

About Emily und John

What life with Emily und John looks like

Emily und John 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 Emily und John, answered.

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