Rassetauben

Unknown

Friends of Rassetauben... where are you? A few weeks ago, a "hobby breeder" in Kobern-Gondorf apparently got rid of his animals. At least 19 pigeons were aimlessly flying around, searching for food, water, and a shelter. Thanks to the tireless efforts of and some voluntary helpers and neighbors, almost all the pigeons were secured and temporarily housed. Thank you to all of you❣️ Unfortunately, some pigeons fell victim to traffic and did not survive the unintended excursion 🥺. On Monday, 10 of these pigeons moved into our aviary. Six more have been taken over by the animal shelter Neuwied. Now, our aviary is "overfull," and what's even worse, we cannot allow free flight, as our animal shelter is surrounded by forests and the pigeons would be quick prey for raptors and company. We are therefore urgently seeking pigeon friends who could take at least some of the flight-capable pigeons off our hands🍀. Among our needs are some flight-unable pigeons - the so-called "footers." These are well cared for and housed here. The flight pigeons, however, are less fortunate 😕. Please help us find an appropriate home for the "fliers"🙏!

Freunde der Rassetauben... wo seid ihr? Vor einigen Wochen hat sich ein "Hobbyzüchter" in Kobern-Gondorf vermutlich seiner Tiere entledigt. Mindestens 19 Tauben flatterten ziellos umher, auf der Suche nach Futter, Wasser und einem Unterschlupf. Dank des unermüdlichen Einsatzes der und einigen freiwilligen Helfern und Anwohnern, konnten fast alle Tiere gesichert und vorübergehend untergebracht werden. Danke an euch Alle❣️ Leider fielen einige Täubchen dem Verkehr zum Opfer und überlebten den unfreiwilligen Ausflug nicht 🥺. Am Montag zogen nun 10 dieser Tauben in unsere Voliere ein. 6 weitere hat das Tierheim Neuwied von uns übernommen. Nun ist unsere Voliere "übervoll" und - was noch schlimmer ist - bei uns kann KEIN Freiflug gewährt werden, da unser Tierheim von Wäldern umgeben ist und die Tauben eine schnelle Beute für Greifvögel & Co. wären. Wir suchen also dringend Taubenfreunde, die uns zumindest einen Teil der flugfähigen Tiere abnehmen könnten🍀. Zu unserer Besetzung gehören u.a. einige flugunfähige Tiere - die sogenannten "Fußgänger". Diese sind hier gut versorgt und untergebracht. Die Flugtauben leider weniger 😕. Bitte helft uns, einen geeigneten Schlag für die "Flieger" zu finden🙏!

About Rassetauben

What life with Rassetauben looks like

Rassetauben is a adult bird waiting at Tierheim Mayen in Mayen.

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 Rassetauben, answered.

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