Sternchen

Female

I am Sternchen, a loving budgerigar hen looking for a home with a connection. I have arthritis in my joints, but I can still fly a little. Hormonally, I am a bit prone to becoming "ready to mate," which can make me a bit more assertive. Budgerigars are particularly lively and active companions. They enjoy the attention of their human friends and can become very trusting with a bit of patience. As social birds, they should be rehomed in pairs. If there are already one or more nice fellow animals waiting in the new home, they can also move in alone. The animal shelter rehomes budgerigars both in apartment-friendly aviaries and in outdoor aviary setups with sheltered areas. For two budgerigars in apartment-friendly aviaries, the aviary should be at least 1.60 meters long, approximately 50-60 cm deep, and about 0.8 meters high (the dimensions may vary by aviary manufacturer) and should have a UV light specifically designed for birds. Daily flights for several hours with multiple natural perching spots should also be ensured. For outdoor aviary setups, the size of the aviary depends on the number of birds. Do you have a wonderful spot for me?. This cat is to be kept indoors only.

Ich bin Sternchen eine liebe Wellensittich-Henne auf der Suche nach einem Zuhause mit Anschluss. Ich habe Arthrosen in den Gelenken, kann aber noch ein bisschen fliegen. Hormonell bin ich etwas anfällig, was mich leicht dazu bringt „läufig/brutig“ zu werden. Wellensittiche sind besonders lustige und aktive Begleiter. Sie genießen die Aufmerksamkeit ihrer Menschen und können mit etwas Geduld sehr zutraulich werden. Da Schwarmvögel sehr gesellig sind, werden sie mindestens zu zweit vermittelt. Wenn im neuen Zuhause bereits ein oder mehrere nette Artgenossen warten, können sie auch allein umziehen. Das Tierheim vermittelt Wellensittiche sowohl in Wohnungshaltung als auch in Außenvolierenhaltung mit Schutzraum. Für zwei Wellensittiche in Wohnungshaltung sollte die Voliere mindestens 1,60 m lang, ca. 50-60 cm tief und ca. 0,8 m hoch sein (die Maße variieren je nach Volierenhersteller) und über ein UV-Licht, das speziell für Vögel geeignet ist, verfügen. Auch hier sollte täglicher Freiflug von mehreren Stunden mit mehreren Anflugstellen aus Naturästen gewährleistet sein. Bei der Außenvolierenhaltung ist die Größe der Voliere abhängig von der Anzahl der Tiere. Hast du ein tolles Plätzchen für mich?

About Sternchen

What life with Sternchen looks like

Sternchen is a adult bird waiting at Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg in Berlin.

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 Sternchen, answered.

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