Adopt Wellensittich

Mixed Breed · Male

Name: Henry Age: 6 years Gender: Male (rooster) Color: Green Health: No diseases About me: I am an experienced little adventurer who recently lost my partner. As I do not want to be alone and budgerigars need company, I am now looking for a new home where I can belong again—preferably in a small, friendly flock. My personality: • Hand-tamed but sensitive: I know the hand and sometimes like to come closer, but overall I’m quite a timid type. I need people who are patient with me and let me go at my own pace. • Free-flying: I love my freedom! A room where I can fly around daily is a must for me. • Peace-loving: Since I am a cautious bird, I wish for a home without small children so that it’s not too hectic around my cage. What I wish for: • Fellow animals: At least one nice hen or rooster, or an existing flock I can join. • Plenty of space: A beautiful large aviary and daily free flight. • Loving hands: People who accept me as I am and give me the security I need. We will only place Henry in the very best of homes. He will also bring his usual food for the first few days to his new home. We would be very happy to hear back from you.

Name: Henry Alter: 6 Jahre Geschlecht: Hahn (männlich) Farbe: grün Krankheiten: keine Über mich: Ich bin ein erfahrener kleiner Abenteurer, der vor kurzem leider seine Partnerin verloren hat. Da ich nicht alleine sein möchte und Wellensittiche Gesellschaft brauchen, suche ich nun ein neues Zuhause, in dem ich wieder dazugehören darf – sehr gerne in einem kleinen, freundlichen Schwarm. Mein Charakter: • Handzahm, aber sensibel: Ich kenne die Hand und komme auch gerne mal näher, bin aber insgesamt eher ein ängstlicher Typ. Ich brauche Menschen, die geduldig mit mir sind und mir mein Tempo lassen. • Freiflieger: Ich liebe meine Freiheit! Ein Zimmer, in dem ich täglich meine Runden drehen kann, ist für mich ein Muss. • Ruheliebhaber: Da ich ein eher vorsichtiger Vogel bin, wünsche ich mir ein Zuhause ohne Kleinkinder, damit es um meinen Käfig herum nicht zu hektisch zugeht. Was ich mir wünsche: • Artgenossen: Mindestens eine nette Henne oder Hahn oder ein bestehender Schwarm, an den ich mich anschließen kann. • Viel Platz: Eine schöne große Voliere und täglicher Freiflug. • Liebevolle Hände: Menschen, die mich so nehmen, wie ich bin, und mir die Sicherheit geben, die ich brauche. Wir geben Henry wird nur in allerbeste Hände ab. Er würde auch sein gewohntes Futter für die ersten Tage mit in sein neues Heim mitbringen. Wir würden uns sehr über eine Rückmeldung freuen.

About Wellensittich

What life with Wellensittich looks like

Wellensittich 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 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.
