Adopt Nymphensittich

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 19 years

Henni lives with us in Cologne and is at least 16, probably 18 or 19 years old. She came to us in 2008, allegedly at 2 years old, and has never become affectionate. Unfortunately, her partner passed away two weeks ago at nearly 20 years old, and we would like to give up keeping birds. Therefore, we are looking for a new home with free flight for an older rooster, so we can still offer Henni a happy remaining life. Currently, she lives with Frieda, for whom we are also seeking a new home as soon as her health stabilizes.

Henni lebt bei uns in Köln und ist mindestens 16, vermutlich 18 oder 19 Jahre alt. Sie kam 2008 zu uns mit angeblich 2 Jahren und ist nie zutraulich geworden. Leider ist ihr Partner vor 2 Wochen mit knapp 20 Jahren verstorben und wir möchten die Vogelhaltung aufgeben. Daher suchen wir ein neues Zuhause mit Freiflug bei einem alten Hahn, damit wir Henni noch ein glückliches Restleben bieten können. Derzeit lebt sie mit Frieda zusammen, für die wir auch ein neues Zuhause suchen, sobald sie gesundheitlich stabil ist.

About Nymphensittich

What life with Nymphensittich looks like

Nymphensittich is a senior mixed breed bird waiting at Federnhilfe in Germany.

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 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 Nymphensittich, answered.

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