Pepina

Unknown · Baby · 6 months

Pepina is a young, lively budgie who immediately brings good cheer with her cheerful and lively nature. Curious, she explores everything her surroundings have to offer, and in doing so, Pepina is always nimble, skillful, and full of energy. Typical of budgies, she loves to chirp, sing, and communicate with her fellow birds. As a true flock bird, Pepina absolutely needs the company of other budgies. A home with at least one existing companion bird is therefore a requirement. If no budgies are already present, we would also be happy to place Pepina with a suitable partner bird. Despite her brave and cheeky nature, Pepina can still react a bit timidly in unfamiliar situations. With a little patience and a quiet environment, Pepina quickly gains confidence and shows how adaptable and eager to learn young budgies can be. We wish Pepina a loving home with plenty of space to fly, varied activities, and people who enjoy watching the colorful antics of a young budgie. Anyone looking for a cheerful, active, and sociable little feathered friend will have a lot of fun with Pepina.

DE·Show original

Pepina ist ein junger, aufgeweckter Wellensittich, der mit seiner fröhlichen und lebhaften Art sofort für gute Stimmung sorgt. Neugierig wird alles erkundet, was die Umgebung zu bieten hat, und dabei ist Pepina stets flink, geschickt und voller Tatendrang unterwegs. Typisch Wellensittich wird gerne gezwitschert, gesungen und mit den Artgenossen kommuniziert. Als echter Schwarmvogel braucht Pepina unbedingt die Gesellschaft anderer Wellensittiche. Ein Zuhause mit mindestens einem bereits vorhandenen Artgenossen ist daher Voraussetzung. Falls noch keine Wellensittiche vorhanden sind, vermitteln wir Pepina auch gerne gemeinsam mit einem passenden Partnervogel. Trotz der mutigen und frechen Art kann Pepina in unbekannten Situationen noch etwas schreckhaft reagieren. Mit etwas Geduld und einer ruhigen Umgebung fasst Pepina jedoch schnell Vertrauen und zeigt, wie anpassungsfähig und lernfreudig junge Wellensittiche sein können. Für Pepina wünschen wir uns ein liebevolles Zuhause mit viel Platz zum Fliegen, abwechslungsreicher Beschäftigung und Menschen, die Freude daran haben, das bunte Treiben eines jungen Wellensittichs zu beobachten. Wer einen fröhlichen, aktiven und geselligen kleinen Federfreund sucht, wird an Pepina viel Freude haben.

About Pepina

What life with Pepina looks like

Pepina is a puppy/kitten 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 Pepina, answered.

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