Adopt Wellensittich

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

I am looking for a new home for my male budgerigar Alexander. I took over the widowed male in January from a single-housing situation. He is about 2 years old. I wanted to ensure a balanced gender ratio in my existing budgerigar group (1 male, 2 females) and also provide the only flight-capable female with a partner who would leave the cage with her. Everything worked well until the end of March. Then problems arose because Alexander kept pushing the other male off the perches. Eventually, I had to separate Alexander from the group because my other male was completely terrified and unable to defend himself. Alexander is a strong bird with a lot of energy. I think a dominant female would be good for him. Perhaps through this avenue, someone can be found who would like to offer Alexander a new home.

Ich suche ein neues Zuhause für meinen Wellensittichhahn Alexander. Ich habe den verwitweten Hahn im Januar aus Einzelhaltung übernommen. Er sei ca. 2 Jahre alt. Ich wollte in meiner bestehenden Wellensittichgruppe ( 1 männlich, 2 weiblich) für ein ausgeglichenes Geschlechterverhältnis sorgen. Zudem sollte das einzig flugfähige Weibchen einen Partner bekommen, der mit ihr den Käfig verlässt. Das Ganze hat bis Ende März gut funktioniert. Dann gab es Probleme, weil Alexander den anderen Hahn immer wieder von den Sitzästen schubste. Zuletzt habe ich Alexander von der Gruppe getrennt, weil mein anderer Hahn völlig verängstigt war und sich nicht zur Wehr setzen kann. Alexander ist ein kräftiger Vogel mit viel Power. Ich denke, eine dominante Henne wäre gut für ihn. Vielleicht findet sich auf diesem Weg jemand, der Alexander ein neues Zuhause bieten möchte.

About Wellensittich

What life with Wellensittich looks like

Wellensittich is a young 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 Wellensittich, answered.

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