Plum

Male

Hello, I am Plum, I came as a found animal to our shelter. Since it seems that no one is missing me, I am now searching for a beautiful new home. When I arrived at the animal shelter, I was very sick. At the vet, it turned out that I have macrocystis, commonly known as megabacteria. This is an infectious disease caused by a fungus. I have been treated with antifungal medication for 21 days (which is why I am orange around my beak in the photo), but I will always carry the disease within me and therefore can only be placed with a partner or in a group that has also tested positive for megabacteria. My home should not be a small cage, but a beautiful aviary where I can fly freely and spread my wings. If you therefore have a suitable spot for me, feel free to get in touch so I don't have to sit here alone anymore.

Hallöchen, ich bin Plum, ich kam als Fundtier ins Tierheim. Da mich scheinbar niemand vermisst, suche ich jetzt ein schönes neues Zuhause. Als ich im Tierheim ankam, war ich sehr krank. Beim Tierarzt hat sich herausgestellt, dass ich Macrorhabdiose habe, umgangssprachlich Megabakteriose genannt. Das ist eine Infektionskrankheit, die durch einen Hefepilz ausgelöst wird. Ich wurde jetzt auch schon 21 Tage lang gegen Pilze behandelt (deshalb bin ich auch auf dem Foto so orange um den Schnabel), allerdings werde ich die Krankheit immer in mir tragen und darf deshalb auch nur zu einem Partner oder in eine Gruppe ziehen, die auch positiv auf Megabakteriose getestet wurde. Mein Zuhause soll kein kleiner Käfig sein, sondern eine schöne Voliere, in der ich frei fliegen und mich ausbreiten kann. Wenn Ihr also ein passendes Plätzchen für mich frei habt, dann meldet Euch doch gerne, damit ich nicht mehr alleine hier sitzen muss. Euer Plum

About Plum

What life with Plum looks like

Plum is a small adult bird waiting at Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. in Remagen.

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 Plum, answered.

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