Puck

Female · Adult · 4 years

This is our Puck, a female Budgerigar born around December 2021. She was given up with three other Budgerigars due to time constraints by the owners. Puck is quite stubborn, especially when she flies loose, she has this attitude of "see if you can catch me." The male she lived with eventually rejected her and started attacking her. During one of these attacks, Puck injured her wing, fortunately she didn't suffer any lasting damage except for the wing hanging a bit. We are looking for a cozy household with a lot of attention and a nice Budgerigar male for Puck to live with.

Dit is onze Puck, een Valkparkietendame geboren rond december 2021. Zij is samen met 3 andere Valkjes afgestaan vanwege tijdgebrek van de eigenaren. Puck is lekker eigenwijs, zeker als ze losvliegt heeft ze zoiets van zie maar je dat je me te pakken krijgt. Het mannetje waar ze mee samenwoonde heeft haar op een gegeven moment afgekeurd en ging haar aanvallen. Bij een aanval heeft Puck haar vleugel bezeerd, gelukkig heeft ze hier niks aan over gehouden behalve dat de vleugel wat hangt. Voor Puck zoeken we een gezellig huishouden met veel aandacht en een leuke Valkparkietenman waar ze mee samen kan wonen.

About Puck

What life with Puck looks like

Puck is an adult bird waiting at Dierentehuis Stevenshage Leiden in Leiden.

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 Netherlands

Paperwork, vet checks and transport rules differ by species and by country. Ask the shelter what is included and what you will need to arrange before you commit.

Frequently asked

Adopting Puck, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Puck?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dierentehuis Stevenshage Leiden handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Puck on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Puck if I live in another country?: Sometimes. Whether a bird can move between countries depends on the species and the rules in both countries, and some species need permits or have restrictions. Ask Dierentehuis Stevenshage Leiden what paperwork and transport they require, and check the import rules of your country before you commit.
Is Puck already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: What a bird comes with (vet checks, vaccinations, identification, paperwork) varies by shelter and species. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask Dierentehuis Stevenshage Leiden directly what is included and what Puck still needs.
What happens if Puck 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 Dierentehuis Stevenshage Leiden early rather than rehoming privately; they know Puck 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 (NL). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
