DE·Show original

Sparkle ist ein lebhafter und neugieriger Wellensittich mit einem feinen Gespür für alles, was in seiner Umgebung geschieht. Seine sensible und aufmerksame Art macht ihn besonders wachsam gegenüber Geräuschen und Bewegungen. Obwohl er gerne auf Entdeckungsreise geht, zeigt sich Sparkle oft vorsichtig und zurückhaltend, wodurch er manchmal etwas unsicher wirkt. Der soziale Wellensittich interessiert sich sehr für seine Mitmenschen und andere Tiere und sucht gerne den Kontakt, ohne dabei seine natürliche Vorsicht abzulegen. Mit seiner zarten Seele und seinem fröhlichen Wesen bringt Sparkle viel Leben und Charme mit. Wer ihm mit Geduld und Einfühlungsvermögen begegnet, gewinnt einen treuen kleinen Gefährten, der mit seinem munteren Gezwitscher für viele schöne Momente sorgt.

About Sparkle

What life with Sparkle looks like

Sparkle is an adult bird waiting at Tierheim beider Basel in Basel.

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 Switzerland

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 Sparkle, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Sparkle?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim beider Basel handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Sparkle on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Sparkle 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 Tierheim beider Basel what paperwork and transport they require, and check the import rules of your country before you commit.
Is Sparkle 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 Tierheim beider Basel directly what is included and what Sparkle still needs.
What happens if Sparkle 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 beider Basel early rather than rehoming privately; they know Sparkle 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.
