Adopt Wellensittiche

Budgerigar · Male · 2 years

Dear interested parties, the number of these curious and colorful birds is constantly changing. Sometimes the Wellensittiche are delivered individually as found animals or occasionally as a larger group/swarm. The gender distribution is naturally very different. Therefore, we ask you to send us an email with your phone number if you are interested. We would also be happy to receive a photo and the dimensions of the cage or aviary. We will call you back as soon as possible and work together to find the right Wellensittiche for your family. UPDATE (11.05.26): All current Wellensittiche have been rehomed. This animal was surrendered to the shelter.

Liebe Interessenten, die Anzahl dieser neugierigen und farbenfrohen Vögel ist im ständigen Wechsel. Teilweise werden die Wellensittiche einzeln als Fundtiere eingeliefert oder auch mal als größere Gruppe/Schwarm abgegeben. Auch die Geschlechterverteilung ist natürlich sehr unterschiedlich. Daher bitten wir Sie uns bei Interesse eine E-Mail mit Telefonnummer zu schreiben. Gerne auch schon mit einem Foto und den Maßen des Käfigs bzw. der Voliere. Wir rufen Sie baldmöglichst zurück und suchen gemeinsam mit Ihnen die richtigen Wellensittiche für Ihre Familie. UPDATE (11.05.26): Aktuell alle Wellensittiche vermittelt.

About Wellensittiche

What life with Wellensittiche looks like

Wellensittiche is a very small adult budgerigar bird waiting at Tierheim Wiesbaden in Wiesbaden.

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 Wiesbaden 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 Wiesbaden 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 Wiesbaden 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.
