Adopt Wellensittich

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Hello dear bird lovers, with heavy hearts we must part from our 1-year-old Wellensittich. We had rescued/fetched him from a poor hobby breeding as a new buddy for our 7-year-old Wellensittich. Unfortunately, we had to realize that both do not get along well, as the older one often chases the younger one and is very dominant towards him, leading to severe rivalry conflicts. Also, through other animal friends, we do not have a species-appropriate free space in our small apartment. Therefore, we have decided to give the young Welli to loving and only experienced hands where he will have fellow animals who will welcome him with open wings. (He is accustomed to cockatiels and canaries and gets along well with them.) The little one has been treated preventively for mites by an avian-knowledgeable veterinarian, so he was in a long quarantine, meaning he will not need a long quarantine-acclimatization period in his new home, and he has been tested for Chlamydia, which came back negative. Thus, he can move into a new home with like-minded companions without any worries. We would love to provide him with what he deserves, but unfortunately, we cannot. If you are interested, please let us know.

Hallo liebe Vogel-Freunde, mit schweren Herzen müssen wir uns von unserem 1-Jahr alten Wellensittich trennen. Wir hatten ihn aus einer schlechten Hobbyzucht gerettet/geholt als neuer Kumpel für unsere 7 Jahre alten Wellensittich. Leider mussten wir feststellen, das sich beide nicht gut verstehen da der ältere den kleineren öfters Jagt und ihm gegenüber sehr Dominant ist, was zu starken revalitätskonflikten führt. Auch haben wir durch andere Tierfreunde keinen Artgerechten freien Platz in unserer kleinen Wohnung. Sodass wir uns entschieden haben den jungen Welli in liebevolle und nur erfahrene Hände zu geben, wo er Artgenossen hat die ihn mit offenen Flügeln empfangen. (Er ist an Nympfensittichen und Kanarienvögel gewöhnt und kommt mit ihnen gut klar) Der kleine wurde von einem Vogelkundigen Tieratzt vorsorglich auf Milben behandelt , darum war er in einer langen Quarantäne wesswegen er in seinem neuen Zuhause keine lange Quarantäne-Eingewöhnungszeit mehr benötigt, und auf Clamydien untersucht der negativ ausgefallen ist. Somit kann er sorgenfrei in ein neues Zuhause mit gleichgesinnten ziehen. Gerne würden wir ihm das bieten was er verdient aber leider können wir das doch nicht. Bei Interesse gerne Melden. Mit lieben Grüßen

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.
