Adopt Rüppelspapagei

Mixed Breed · Male

Hello dear parrot enthusiasts, I am Fernando, a Rüppelspapagei. Before you take me in, you would of course like to have some more information about me: Unfortunately, I am PBFD-positive and should therefore move in with other birds that are also positive. Apart from the fact that I don't always have the most beautiful plumage, I am doing excellently despite PBFD. I would be very happy with a large aviary for free flight. Keeping me solely in a cage is out of the question. If you are interested, please send an email: In it, tell us about your experience in keeping parrots, so the shelter staff can get a better idea of whether we might be a good match for you. Since almost all parrots are protected species, we cannot be sold as found animals. Protected species automatically become the property of the state of Baden-Württemberg. We must be registered there, and from there, a transfer agreement will also be issued. This means that we cannot be bred, we cannot be given away, and ownership remains with the "authority."

Hallo liebe Papageienliebhaber, Ich bin Fernando, ein Rüppelspapagei Bevor du mich zu dir nimmst möchtest du natürlich sicherlich noch ein paar mehr Informationen zu mir haben: Ich bin leider PBFD-positiv, sollte also zu weiteren ebenfalls positiven Vögeln ziehen. Abgesehen davon, dass ich nicht immer das schönste Federkleid habe, geht es mir trotz PBFD hervorragend. Ich würde mich sehr über eine große Freiflugvoliere freuen. Reine Käfighaltung kommt selbstverständlich nicht in Frage. Interessiert, dann schreibt eine Mail: Erzählt darin etwas über eure Erfahrung in Papageienhaltung, dann können sich die Tierheimleute gleich ein besseres Bild machen ob wir evtl. zu euch passen könnten. Da fast alle Papageien artengeschützte Tiere sind, können wir als Fundtiere nicht verkauft werden. Artengeschützte Tiere gehen automatisch in den Besitz des Landes Baden Württemberg über. Dort müssen wir angemeldet werden und von dort wird dann auch ein so genannter Überlassungsvertrag ausgestellt. Bedeutet das mit uns nicht gezüchtet werden darf, wir nicht weitergegeben werden dürfen und das Eigentum weiter beim "Amt" bleibt. Das sind jedoch nur Formalitäten, die unsere

About Rüppelspapagei

What life with Rüppelspapagei looks like

Rüppelspapagei is a large adult 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 Rüppelspapagei, answered.

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