Joey

Cockatiel · Unknown · Young · 1 year

Description: Meet Joey. Joey is a lutino cockatiel and is 18 months old. He still won’t eat chops or any veg/fruit offered however it hasn’t stopped me trying. He is eating a combination of lean and fit seed, zupreem pellets, tidymix seed, hemp and chia seed and occasionally mix with either hemp seed or oats. He had never been out of his cage before coming to safehouse with me 4 weeks ago so didn’t know how to fly. Over the 4 weeks he has now learned how to fly, gets plenty of out of cage time and flies and lands great however understandably he is still a little nervous but has come a very long way. When he arrived he was hissing and biting which is completely normal due to his previous circumstances of not interacting with humans or ever coming out of his cage. He no longer bites but has the occasional hiss (typical cockatiel behaviour) He absolutely has become such a pleasant calmer little boy and is more and more trusting everyday. We are working on his step ups which are still hit and miss but he is getting the hang of it. If you feel you can offer this boy a loving home please click on the link to apply. You will need to be a Gold Star Member to adopt any of the parrots from ASP If you can offer a home please use the form to get started

About Joey

What life with Joey looks like

Joey is a young adult cockatiel bird waiting at All Star Parrots Rescue and Rehoming in United Kingdom.

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 United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Joey, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Joey?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. All Star Parrots Rescue and Rehoming handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Joey on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Joey if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — All Star Parrots Rescue and Rehoming 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. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Joey 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 Joey 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 All Star Parrots Rescue and Rehoming early rather than rehoming privately; they know Joey 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 (EN). 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.
