Wellensittiche

Unknown · Adult · 4 years

Wellensittches are particularly fun and active companions. They enjoy the attention of their humans and can become very affectionate with some patience. As flock birds are very sociable, they are placed in pairs. If there are already one or more nice fellow species waiting in the new home, they can also move in alone. We place our wellensittches in both indoor and outdoor aviaries with a shelter. For two wellensittches in indoor housing, the aviary should be at least 1.60 m long, about 50-60 cm deep and about 0.8 m high (the dimensions vary depending on the aviary manufacturer) and have a UV light that is specifically suitable for birds. Daily flight of several hours with several landing sites from natural branches should also be ensured. In outdoor aviary keeping, the size of the aviary depends on the number of animals. Please send us meaningful pictures of the aviary to the e-mail address below. Since the animal stock changes regularly, please contact us by e-mail in advance at the birdhouse. If you are interested, please send us pictures of the aviary and the flight options as well as any existing fellow species: .

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. Sende uns dazu am besten aussagekräftige Bilder der Voliere an die unten stehende E-Mail-Adresse. Da der Tierbestand regelmäßig wechselt, melde dich bitte vorab per E-Mail im Vogelhaus. Bei Interesse sende uns gern direkt Bilder der 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.
