Adopt Senegal Papageienpaar Volker & Ilse

Male · Senior · 29 years

Volker and Ilse are two exotics that have come to us through the loss of their owner. They have a gray-green plumage and were born in 1996. Volker could not fly well upon arrival, but now he can fly through our large aviary. Ilse could only walk on the ground when she arrived, but now she can also fly through the aviary a bit. Senegal parrots are inquisitive, alert, and sensitive. They need a lot of time to get used to new environments and generally react sensitively to changes. They are, like other parrots, very intelligent. Therefore, they are demanding in terms of husbandry because they can become bored and develop behavioral issues or become ill without adequate mental stimulation. Their daily physical and mental engagement is therefore important.

Volker und Ilse sind zwei Exoten, die durch den Verlust ihres Besitzers zu uns gekommen sind. Sie haben ein grau – grünes Gefieder und sind 1996 geboren. Volker konnte bei Ankunft schlecht fliegen, inzwischen fliegt er durch unsere große Voliere. Ilse ist bei Ankunft nur auf Fußboden gelaufen, inzwischen fliegt sie auch etwas durch die Voliere. Senegalpapageien sind neugierig, aufgeweckt und sensibel. Sie benötigen viel Zeit, um sich in neuen Umgebungen zurechtzufinden, und reagieren allgemein empfindlich auf Veränderungen. Sie sind, wie auch andere Papageien, sehr intelligent. Sie sind daher anspruchsvoll in der Haltung, weil sie sich ohne ausreichende Beschäftigung schnell langweilen und verhaltensauffällig oder krank werden können. Ihre tägliche körperliche und auch geistige Auslastung ist daher wichtig.

About Senegal Papageienpaar Volker & Ilse

What life with Senegal Papageienpaar Volker & Ilse looks like

Senegal Papageienpaar Volker & Ilse is a large senior bird waiting at Tierheim Uhlenkrog Kiel in Kiel.

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 Senegal Papageienpaar Volker & Ilse, answered.

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