Wellensittiche

Unknown · Adult · 4 years

Wellensittiche are particularly lively and active companions. They enjoy the attention of their humans and can become very friendly with a bit of patience. As a social species, they are best rehomed in pairs. If there is already one or more nice fellow animals waiting in the new home, they can also move in alone. We place our Wellensittiche in both suitable for apartment living and outdoor aviary with a shelter area. For two Wellensittiche in suitable for apartment living, 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 according to the aviary manufacturer) and should have a UV light that is specifically suitable for birds. Here, a daily free flight of several hours with several landing spots from natural branches should also be guaranteed. In outdoor aviary housing, the size of the aviary depends on the number of animals. Please send us detailed photos of the aviaries and the free-flight possibilities, as well as any existing fellow animals, to the email address below. As the animal population regularly changes, please contact us by email in advance at the Vogelhaus. If interested, you can also send us photos of your aviaries and free-flight possibilities, as well as any existing fellow animals.

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. Wir vermitteln unsere 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. Am besten senden Sie uns hierzu aussagekräftige Bilder der Voliere an die unten stehende E-Mail-Adresse. Da der Tierbestand regelmäßig wechselt, melden Sie sich bitte vorab per E-Mail im Vogelhaus. Bei Interesse senden Sie uns gerne direkt Bilder Ihrer Voliere und der Freiflugmöglichkeiten sowie gegebenenfalls vorhandener Artgenossen an: .

About Wellensittiche

What life with Wellensittiche looks like

Wellensittiche is a adult bird waiting at Tierheim Berlin 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 Wellensittiche, answered.

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