Adopt Lara & Rico

Unknown · 3 years

Hello, we are Lara and Rico …and we are on the lookout for an exciting home where we can explore the surroundings together and experience little adventures. The two of us have fantastic personalities, with which it is sure to never get boring! Would you like to know more about us? I am Lara… and a sovereign and diligent bird lady. I really enjoy working with my beak, for which I gladly take on cork, cardboard, and branches. I also think burrow boxes are great. With one eye, I can no longer see, but I manage just fine. I am very open and quickly make contact with people. I also like to be on the floor and like to rummage around there. My friend Rico… is a modest, but attentive birdman who adores his wife. He also loves to work with his beak and is happy about new "shredding material." If you give him some time to warm up and are patient with him, he can build trust and also show his open side. We wish for… a home with play, fun, and excitement so that no boredom sets in. We are grateful for sufficient retreat possibilities so that we can also cuddle together sometimes. We are very trainable and would be happy about clicker training. We are available throughout Germany and, against cost coverage, a 5-fold fecal test can also be conducted at the animal shelter. Would you like to get to know us? Then feel free to contact our animal care staff directly or fill out the form below.

Hallo, wir sind Lara und Rico …und auf der Suche nach einem spannenden Zuhause, in dem wir zusammen die Umgebung erkunden dürfen und kleine Abenteuer erleben können. Wir Zwei haben ganz tolle Charaktere, mit denen es sicher nie langweilig wird! Möchtest du mehr über uns erfahren? Ich bin Lara… und eine souveräne und fleißige Vogeldame. Ich mag es sehr mit meinem Schnabel zu arbeiten, hierfür nehme ich gerne Kork, Pappe und Äste. Wühlkisten finde ich auch klasse. Auf einem Auge kann ich nichts mehr sehen, aber damit komme ich gut zurecht. Ich bin sehr aufgeschlossen und nehme schnell Kontakt mit Menschen auf. Ich bin außerdem gerne auf dem Fußboden unterwegs und stöbere dort gerne herum. Mein Freund Rico… ist ein bescheidener, aber aufmerksamer Vogelmann, der seine Frau vergöttert. Auch er liebt es mit seinem Schnabel zu arbeiten und freut sich über neues „Schreddermaterial“. Wenn man ihm etwas Zeit gibt, um aufzutauen und geduldig mit ihm ist, dann kann er Vertrauen aufbauen und zeigt auch seine aufgeschlossene Seite. Wir wünschen uns… ein Zuhause mit Spiel, Spaß und Spannung, damit keine Langeweile aufkommt. Über ausreichend Rückzugsmöglichkeiten sind wir dankbar, um auch mal nur zusammen zu kuscheln. Wir sind sehr lernfähig und würden uns über Clickertraining freuen. Wir sind deutschlandweit vermittelbar und gegen Kostenübernahme kann im Tierheim auch ein 5-Fach-Virentest durchgeführt werden. Möchtest du uns kennenlernen? Dann wende dich gern direkt an meine Tierpfleger:innen unter oder fülle das untenstehende Anfrageformular aus.

About Lara & Rico

What life with Lara & Rico looks like

Lara & Rico is a small adult bird waiting at Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg in Berlin.

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.

Note from the shelter: Lara is blind in one eye but manages well

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Lara & Rico, answered.

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